One of my favorite things about going back to the South Bay are the home cooked meals, especially since I'm not much of a cook. I enjoy trying out different sides, sauces and salads, but only have a handful of recipes that I consider my "go-to". Last weekend, my mom made the lentil veggie soup I loved so much growing up. After one bite, I asked my mom to share her recipe so I can make my tiny San Francisco apartment smell just like home.
Ingredients
1 pound French green lentils3 large onions, chopped
2 leeks, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp minced fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp ground cumin
8 stalks celery, diced
4 large carrots, chopped
3 quarts chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato paste
