How to Prepare Savory Lentil Soup [Vegan]

  1. Rinse lentils and place in a large pot with enough water to cover.
  2. In a skillet, over medium-high heat, combine the red onion, green onion, bell pepper, tomato, and garlic. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and sautee until they begin to sweat, then add the mustard, soy sauce, and thyme, and stir to combine. Cook until all the vegetables are soft and the contents are sauce like.
  3. Add the sauce, potatoes and carrots to the pot with the lentils. Turn the heat to medium-high, bring to boil, and then lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, adding more water as needed, until the lentils, potatoes, and carrots are tender. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking. Serve hot, with rice, or alone.
