Lentil soup that's easy to make, and pretty healthy. You really can't mess this up; add extra carrots, celery, lentils, or noodles if you have them!
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add: onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper. Sautee (5-8 min) until all vegetables are tender.
3. Add: tomatoes with their juices. Simmer (about 8 min), stirring occasionally, until juices evaporate a little and tomatoes break down.
4. Add: lentils. Mix to coat.
5. Add: broth, thyme. Bring to a boil over high heat.
6. Cover, simmer over low heat (about 30 min), until lentils are almost tender.
7. Add: pasta. Simmer (about 8 min) until pasta is tender but still firm to the bite.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve sprinkled with parmesan.
It's okay to use grated parmesan instead of fresh. Just remember it won't really "melt", but will give about the same flavor.
Chop the carrots and celery ahead of time to save time!
