Lentil Soup

  
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

2 Shallots, finely chopped
1 small Yellow Onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
3 cups Water
1 cup Dry Green Lentils
1 Red Potato, peeled and finely diced
1 large Tomato, peeled and diced
1 small Stalk Celery, diced
1 small Carrot, slivered
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Dry Croutons

  
   
Preparation:  
   

In a deep soup pot, sauté shallots and onions in heated oil. Add water and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, adding more water if needed to keep the three-cup level of liquid. Cook lentils until barely tender. Add all other vegetables and seasonings. Continue cooking at least 20 minutes longer. Fork-mash or puree mixture. Serve warm, garnished with croutons or chives.
