Sopa de Lentejas (Lentil Soup)

Vegan amigos here is one for you, it’s super easy and very tasty!

8 - 10 cups of water
1 bag of Lentil beans
1 onion chopped
1 1/2 cups of chopped carrots

1 cup of chopped celery

1 can of cooked Italian tomatoes/
   or you could use fresh tomatoes (sliced or diced)

1 cup of chopped cilantro
1 bay leaf
1 tsp of salt
crumble some Mexican (Queso) fresco or
sprinkle some parmigiano - reggiano (both optional)

Instructiones:

Now for the hard part (joking), in a colander rinse the lentils.

Add all the ingredents including the lentils; minus the salt into the Crock pot. Let them cook and in a few hours soup is ready.

Add salt to taste. (Vegetarians) crumble some Mexican (Queso) fresco or sprinkle some parmigiano - reggiano. This is optional but adds texture and more sabor!

This is also a great overnight recipe; throw it all in the pot and forget about it. That way you wake up a delicious meal, you can take to work! Just remember to add enough water so it doesn't dry up.

Hope you enjoy!
