Tasty and healthy soup in a flash

This protein-packed soup requires little supervision, takes only a few minutes to prep, and simmers away on the stove by itself until it's ready to be enjoyed! We always like to make a huge pot, and store batches in the freezer to enjoy later on. It is a keeper!!

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 4 cups water

Method

Add in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes, or until the lentils and potato are cooked through.
