This is my favorite soup. It can be made in a matter of minutes as red lentils cook quickly and don't require any soaking! It has a rich delicious flavor, a bit like a golden split pea soup.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups red lentils
• 4 cups water
• 1 vegetable broth cube
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 large carrots, cut in bit-sized chunks
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in bottom of soup pot and cook onion over medium heat until transluscent - about 3 minutes.

2. Add lentils, vegetable broth, carrots, salt and pepper and cook for 20 minutes.

3. If you would like the thin the soup, just add more water.
   
   That's it. Eat....Yum!!
