6 1/2 cups water

1 pound lentils -- dry

1 1/2 tablespoons unrefined olive oil

2 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion

2 1/2 cups chopped celery stalks

3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons granulated garlic

2 teaspoons granulated onion

2 teaspoons crumbled basil leaf

8 ounces canned Spanish-style tomato sauce

7 ounces canned mild green chiles -- (7 or 8) whole or diced

28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes -- chopped (include juice)

1 tablespoon Vege-Sal -- (or

2 teaspoons sea salt) -- or to taste

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) -- less or more

 

A Chili variation, and no beans to soak. Delicious served with corn bread.

COOKING TIME: 1 1/4 hrs. MAKES: 3 1/2 to 4 quarts.

 

1. In a 5- or 6-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid, bring to a boil: water,

lentils, olive oil, chopped onion, and celery. Simmer, covered, about 35

minutes, or until lentils are a little tender.

 

2. Add tamari, chili powder, cumin, garlic, granulated onion, and basil.

Continue simmering until lentils are quite tender, about 20 minutes. Stir

occasionally.

 

3. In a blender, blend tomato sauce with green chilies until smooth. (No need to

remove seeds from chilies.) Add to soup, along with the chopped canned tomatoes

and their juice. Stirring often, simmer for 15 minutes or until flavors are well

blended. Add Vege-Sal or sea salt, and cayenne if desired. Soup should be of

medium thickness; add water if necessary. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve.
