Lentil Soup

 

I suddenly had a craving for soup. I have a lot of yellow lentils, and I have an almost full carton of vegetable broth (I don’t remember why I bought it). I added chicken bouillon powder because the vegetable broth was too sweet for me. This was totally improvised.

• 1/4 cup yellow lentils
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
• 1/4 tsp butter
• black pepper to taste

1. Add yellow lentils, vegetable broth, and chicken bouillon powder to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for half an hour.
2. Whisk with a hand whisk or pulse in a blender.
3. Stir in butter and black pepper.
