Introduction

These aren't your traditional lentils. The wine and chicken base give this lentil soup a richer flavor while the herbs give it a nice, savory punch. These aren't your traditional lentils. The wine and chicken base give this lentil soup a richer flavor while the herbs give it a nice, savory punch.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 large Onions, chopped

1 large Carrot, chopped

1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme

1/2 teaspoon Dried Marjoram

1/2 teaspoon Dried Parsley

1/2 teaspoon Dried Herbes de Provence

1 tablespoon Chicken Base (or high quality, soft bouillon)

3 cups Water

3/4 cup White Wine

1 cup Dry Lentils

1 teaspoon Salt

2 cans Diced Tomatoes, drained

1/4 teaspoon Creole Seasoning (optional)

Directions

Heat olive oil in a dutch oven over medium to medium high heat. Add onions and carrots. Cook until onions are translucent. Add the tomatoes. Add dried herbs and cook about 3 minutes, stirring. Add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze any light brown bits that may have formed. Add the chicken base and water. Bring to a boil. Add lentils. Cover and reduce heat to low (simmering or slow boil is fine). Cook for one hour or until lentils are soft. Add salt and creole seasoning.

May be served with a drizzle of good balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and/or a sprinkling of fresh parmesan cheese.

One serving is roughly two cups of soup.
