Nutrient-packed vegetarian soup with green lentils and shiitake mushrooms offers delicious flavor in every spoonful.
Ingredients:
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 cup green lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add shallot slices and saute for 1 minute. Next, add garlic and mushrooms and saute until mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent garlic from burning. Increase heat to high, pour in vegetable stock, thyme, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the lentils and aromatic sesame oil in the pot, lowering the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are perfectly tender.
  • Ladle soup into 4 bowls and sprinkle with sliced green onions for a flavorful finish.
