Carrot and Lentil Soup

I had a bit of an orange theme going on with this soup. It's a pretty simple soup but has a really good flavor!



Ingredients:
1 - Large White Onion
2 - Tbsp of Olive Oil
2 - Large Carrots (or the equivalent amount of small carrots)
1 - Cup of Red Lentils
4 - Cups of Water
1 - Tsp of Salt

 (These are the last of my Garden Carrots)


Directions:
Dice the onion and add to a large stock pot with the olive oil. Place over low heat, cooking to a translucent colour.



Clean and chop the carrots.


Grate the carrots.


Add grated carrots to the stock pot.


Rinse the lentils and add to the pot.


Add water and increase the temperature to high.


Once boiling, reduce to low, add salt and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes.


After 25 - 30 minutes, check to make sure the lentils are cooked.


Plate and serve, add additional salt as needed to really bring out the flavors!
