There\u2019s nothing like a piping bowl of yummy soup to warm your insides on a cold day. Of course, we don\u2019t get many cold days in Texas, but this soup is good no matter what the season.<\/p>\n

Lentils require no soaking and are extremely quick cooking. I can cook them in 6 minutes flat when I use my new pressure cooker<\/a>. But even on the stovetop, they\u2019re done in half an hour. I love that about them.<\/p>\n

I also love the fact that lentils are so good for you. And they\u2019re delicious, to boot, especially in this Garlicky Lentil Soup recipe! It\u2019s become one of my family\u2019s new favorites. We made them again this afternoon. The grandkids were visiting, and this batch fed all 12 of us with about 2 cups left over.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h2>\n

1 yellow onion
\n2 cups lentils
\n1 cup of carrots
\n6-8 cloves of garlic
\n12-14 cups water
\n4 Tbsp olive oil
\n4 Tbsp red wine vinegar
\n1 tsp oregeno
\n8 cubes of beef bouillon
\n4 bay leaves
\nsalt & pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/h2>\n

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the carrots into rounds.<\/p>\n

Combine with 14 cups of water and the remaining ingredients in a soup pot.<\/p>\n

Bring to a boil, then simmer 40-50 minutes. Remove bay leaves before serving.<\/p>\n

If using a pressure cooker, reduce water to 12 cups, put all ingredients in the cooker, seal, and cook for 6 minutes.<\/p>\n

For a vegan-friendly version, omit beef bouillon cubes and use vegetable stock instead of water.<\/p>\n

This garlicky lentil soup recipe is adapted from one I found in The Ultimate Soup Bible<\/a> by Anne Sheasby.<\/p>\n
