Lentil Vegetable Soup Recipe:

I have never made this before but we had the leftover Leg of Lamb bone from Christmas Dinner so I decided to make a go of it.  Verdict = super flavorful comforting veggie packed soup, great for a snowy day!

1 tbsp Canola Oil

1/2 Large White Onion, sliced

1 Leftover Leg of Lamb bone

1 tsp crushed Garlic

1 cup canned Whole Tomatoes, crushed

1 Bay leaf

1 cup Red Lentils

1 large Zucchini, chopped

2 cups Baby Carrots, halved

2 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth

2 cups Water

Add Oil & Onion to hot soup pot and saute until soft.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
