Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1 medium carrot, chopped

1 small red bell pepper, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, diced

7 garlic cloves, sliced

6 cups of water

2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock

1 cup dried brown lentils

28 oz crushed tomatoes, undrained

2 bay leaves

1 tbsp chipotle chili powder

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add onion, cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in carrot, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook 4 minutes more.

Add water, stock, lentils, tomatoes, and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 18-20 minutes until the lentils and veggies are tender.

If you prefer a heartier texture to your soup, let it simmer for another 20 minutes or so to cook off some of the liquid.

Season to taste with the chili powder and a few twists of fresh ground pepper.
