Vegan Lentil Soup.

I made a big batch of Vegan Lentil Soup that I found on Clean Eating Mama and must say, it was the bomb like Ben Afflek in phantoms, yo.

Ingredients

• 2 cups lentils, rinsed and looked over
• 6-8 cups of vegetable stock or water
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cups of chopped yellow potatoes (I used sweet potatoes since that is all I had)
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped or tablespoon of garlic powder (I used 4 because I hate vampires)
• 3-4 carrots, chopped
• 3-4 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1-2 bay leaves (I omitted because I had none)
• salt and pepper to taste

In a large soup pot pour your water/vegetable stock. Turn stove on high heat. Add rinsed lentils, carrots, garlic, onion, potatoes, herbs and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low) and cover for an hour.
Check often to make sure water level is not too low, adding small amounts at a time.
The end result should be a thick and creamy soup, with the lentils being broke down and soft. Taste to make sure it is seasoned the way you like it, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Serves 4-6

I did not take any pictures before I consumed it all, my bad.  It looked very lentil soupish if you can picture that in your head.
