Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup chopped crimini mushrooms
  • 5 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup brown lentils rinsed and drained
  • 1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes in juice
  • 1 4-inch sprig fresh rosemary plus more for garnish
  • Fine sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • good balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high. Add onions, carrots, and garlic and cook until they begin to soften - about 7 minutes. 
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until they shrink and darken and the rest of the vegetables are browned - about 5 minutes. 
  • Add 4 cups of the stock, lentils, and tomatoes with their juice, and the sprig of rosemary, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium–low, partially cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 25 minutes. Discard the rosemary stem.
  • Transfer 2 cups soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return puree to the soup pot. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of stock and cook over low heat until all ingredients are warm, 2 to 3 minutes. 
  • Season with salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with small sprigs of rosemary before serving.
  • Add a dash of balsamic vinegar to individual servings.
