Lentil & Onion Soup

JBrzezinski_P1050601_37009-E-E_w1000

Carolyn and I are at Killasonna Lodge this weekend. The weather put us in the mood to hunker down. There is a brisk wind and the waves are loud. We scrounged around the pantry and came up with this simple soup. Perfect for a cabin, since no fresh ingredients are involved. Historical note: One week ago today marked the ten year anniversary of purchasing the land here.  -jb 11-11-12

1 package Lipton onion soup mix
1/2 lb. dried lentils
1 Knorr’s vegetable bullion
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz.)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 cups water

Add the lentils and bullion to the water and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes. Add the soup mix, garlic and tomatoes and cook an additional 30-40 minutes. Test the lentils for doneness.
