There are so many ways to make this, however, this is my favorite! Basic and simple

- 6 Cups Chicken stock
- Salt and pepper To taste
Instructions
- First sauté the onions celery and carrot with the garlic in a large pot with oil. Add a little salt here.
- Add the lentils and stir around for a few minutes so they get toasty.
- Add the broth and then bring to a boil and simmer covered for about 2 to 3 hours until lentils break. You can continue to add water here as desired.
- Use an immersion blender to blend some of the lentils but still keeping the soups texture just a few pulses
