Lentil Soup

As simple as this is, it's the favorite soup amongst my kids.



It is so filling, so healthy, so tasty, and SO inexpensive!

If you are doing it in the crockpot, just throw all of it in at once and cook on high for 4 hours.

This is the healthiest most inexpensive meal I make.

Recipe by Mark Bittman from How to Cook Everything. -- I adapted it a little bit

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, cut into 1/2 -inch dice
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/2 -inch dice
