I love eating this soup with fresh baby romaine lettuce. It may seem a bit odd, but trust me it is a must try. I dip it in, scoop up some soup with the lettuce like a spoon and then munch it all up 🙂 The lettuce adds that fresh factor that the soup is missing, as well as a crunchy component for an additional layer of texture.
1 large white potato, washed, peeled and diced medium
1 cup dried green lentils, rinsed
3 roma tomatoes, diced medium
1 1/2 cups zucchini, cubed
1 tbs organic tomato paste
1 tbs fresh oregano, finely minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
Freshly cracked black pepper
Salt as needed
Instructions
Heat a large pot with about 1/4 cup vegetable broth. When heated, add the onion and celery, cooking until translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add in the carrots and potato into the pot, along with 1 cup of broth. Toss, then cover over medium-low heat to steam for about 6 minutes.
Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium, then cover and reduce to a simmer for about 35 minutes (or until lentils are almost done).
Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, taste and add more seasoning if desired.
