Really Easy Lentil Soup 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, julienned oil for sauteeing 2 cups green or red lentils, rinsed 6 cups boiling water 2 vegetable stock cubes 1 1/2 tbsp garam masala salt and pepper to taste In a large pot, sautee the onions and garlic until translucent. In a separate bowl, stir the vegetable stock into the boiling water and then add to the pot. Mix in the garam masala. Now add the lentils and boil softly until cooked thoroughly - the lentlis should be nice and soft. (At this point you can partially puree the lentils if that grabs you. I prefer to leave them whole.) Optional: add finely chopped carrots and celery just after sauteeing.
