What you’ll need:

• Carrots/Celery/White Onion
• Lentil Beans (Can buy in bulk section @) Whole Foods {Cheaper this way}
• Fennel
• Zucchini
• Tomato Sauce or Paste (either works)
• Garlic cloves {2 or 3}
• Bay Leaves {2 or 3}
• 1/2 cup lemon juice {Fresh preferred}

How to Prepare:

1. Chop veggies {carrots, celery, fennel and onion) to desired size {I prefer smaller}
2. Boil Lentils in separate pot for about 20 min
3. Saute veggies & garlic with olive oil until tender
4. When lentils are done cooking, put the saute veggies in Pot {Same water is fine}
5. Tomato sauce, lemon juice  & zucchini can go into pot with veggies/lentils
6. You can also saute zucchini for a few minutes before putting in pot- they don’t take long too cook and you don’t want mushy so keep an eye out!
7. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder {Chili flakes if you want spice}
8. Let simmer for about 15 minutes until finished.
9. You can add feta as I did, or even chicken if you desire.
10. Enjoy!
