Rinse lentils and boil in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, chop celery, onion, and garlic. Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add celery, onion, and garlic to the warm oil, add salt and pepper, and saute until soft.

    Good
    I added kidney beans, and switched it to chicken broth because I didn't have veggie stock. I used Basil. It made more like 6 servings, hope they freeze well. - 5/28/12
