Ingredients
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 lb lentils
- 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup diced onion (Vidalia if available)
- 3-4 stalks celery - sliced
- 32 oz vegetable broth
- 3 - 4 cups water
- (optional - other soup vegetables)
- 1 tbs+ oil (I use Canola)
- organic raw vegan sugar (to taste - 1-3 tbs.)
- 2 teaspoon salt
- basil to taste
Sauté onions in oil until soft. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender (about an hour). This soup tastes best if left to sit on the stove a couple of hours before serving.
The vegetables tend to disappear in this soup so if you prefer them more firm, add them 1/2 hour after the lentils.
