Easy Lentil Stew

Tis the season for soup! This is an easy and hearty stew to make if you have some time. And, thankfully, the stove does 90% of the work. Or I'm sure it can be put into to a crock pot while you step out of the house.

Serves many

Ingredients:

-1/2 Tbsp. oil
-1/c up onion, diced
-2 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
-1 Tbsp. cumin
-salt and pepper, to taste
-1 cup vegetable stock
-4 cups water
-1 can diced tomatoes
-1 bag frozen peas
-1 lb. dried lentils

Directions:

1) Heat oil in a large soup pot. Cook the onion on medium-high until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2) Add vegetable stock, water, tomatoes, peas, lentils, and seasonings. Bring to a boil.

3) Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer at least a couple hours (the more the merrier, though!)
