Lentil and Rice Soup

Lentil and Rice Soup Lentil and Rice Soup  

Plenty of protein is packed into this nutritional soup and one of the easiest you will ever prepare. The list of ingredients is long, but everything goes into the pot, allowing you to do something else while it cooks. This soup tastes even better as a leftover and is freezer-friendly.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

5 cups vegetable broth
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups rinsed lentils
1 cup long-grain rice
1 35-ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
3 carrots, cut into a 1/2-inch dice
1 large sweet onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 large stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
 



METHOD

In a large heavy Dutch oven coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, combine the broth, water, lentils, rice, tomatoes with juice, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer, stirring occasionally for 35 minutes or until the rice and lentils are tender. Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
