Trillian’s Lentil Soup

1-lb bag of lentils
1 teaspoon of olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium sweet onion, minced
2 stalks celery, diced small
2 medium carrots, diced small
1 15oz can of diced tomatoes
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
12-15 cups of water (or a mixture of water/chicken stock) to fill pot

Place lentils in a bowl and pick out any rocks. Rinse lentils and set aside.
In a large pot saute onions in olive oil. Add garlic, carrots, celery and parsley. Saute for a few minutes. Add potatoes, tomatoes, lentils and sauce then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and lower heat. Simmer for 45 minutes - 1 hour until lentils are done.
Serve with a small pasta and lots of Parmesan cheese.
