Lentil pasta soup

I don't know why we put a cheesy crouton only on top of French onion soup, I think most soup deserves one.

Lentil pasta soup

Ingredients

4 Diced carrots

3 cups Cut string beans

2 Scallions

1 cloves Garlic

A box Vegetable stock

14.5 oz. Fire roasted diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon Basil

1 teaspoon Oregano

Salt and pepper to taste.

Half a box of lentil pasta.

Chives.

Directions

Saute the carrots about 7 minutes on medium heat, add the string beans and cook 5 minutes. Add the scallions, garlic, 1 tablespoon of basil, 1 teaspoon of oregano, salt and pepper to taste.

Add the whole box of stock, the can of tomatoes, bring to a boil, add half of a box of the lentil pasta. Bring back to a boil, reduce to medium, cover half way and let cook about 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.

Meanwhile place 1 slice of bread per person in the toaster oven to 350° F., after 5 minutes, flip and top with a slice of cheese.

Ladle the soup in bowls, top with a crouton and chives.

We like the texture, taste and nutritional benefits of lentil pasta. Give it a try.

Use your favorite veggies, make it à la you and bon appétit!
