Not surprisingly, soup is not the easiest dish to photograph. I mean there's really no way to truly capture how hearty nor how flavorful a soup is in a mere photo, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Lentil soup is a winter staple in my house because nothing quite warms you up the same way. Well, except for maybe whiskey or something, but we're trying to keep it healthy around here. :) Speaking of health, lentils are packed with fiber and protein, low in fat and are easy to digest.

For the Foodies: Lentil Lovin'
Sometimes you just crave something that reminds you of home, and for me lentil soup is that very dish. It's super easy to make and I always have leftovers to eat for lunch the next few days. Here's my (not so specific) recipe:
Some garlic (I did 2 cloves this time, but I love garlic and could've gone for more)
Some celery (I did 2 small stalks of celery this time)
A bunch of carrots
An onion
A bunch of quinoa
A bunch of lentils
1 jar of pasta sauce (this time around I used organic garlic and herb sauce)
Water (I filled up the empty pasta sauce jar twice)
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Some garlic powder
A little olive oil
Directions: Put some olive oil in your pot, and put the garlic, celery, carrots and onion in. When the onions are clear, add the sauce and the water. Add your lentils and quinoa and the seasoning. Bring the pot to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes or until the lentils are done. Then eat and enjoy!!
