6 Ingredient Lentil Soup (I'm not kidding)

Happy Monday everyone!

I am finally posting my recipe for lentil soup--I am positive I don't have one friend who has not tried this at my house at some point. The recipe only calls for 6 ingredients and makes a huge pot--good to share at parties or sustain you and yours throughout the week. It's especially lovely during these here cold winter months, aka about 10 months of the year here in San Pancho. Do it up, tell me how it went/goes:

Easy Lentil Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups green lentils--picked over and rinsed
• olive oil
• 1 onion--chopped
• sea salt
• 1 12 oz can garbanzo beans
• one bunch of greens--I use kale, but you can use chard or collards also
• 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
• 2-3 cups water

Instructions:

• Boil 6 cups of water in a large soup-pot.
• Add lentils and cook 20 minutes (or until tender). Drain, set aside.
• Heat oil in the soup pot over medium heat. Add garbanzo beans and saute 1-2 minutes.
• Add onion and salt and sautee until tender
• Stir in tomatoes, lentils, and water, let simmer.
• Add greens at the end for about 1-2 minutes, until they soften and turn a bright green.

That's IT! And it's bomb. Some people like to add a dollop of yogurt on top, I personally like it best with a dash of Tapatio.
