Garlic Lentil Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp leaves oregano
• 1 dash pepper
• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 1 medium carrot
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup lentils

Directions

1. Chop the carrot, onion and garlic quite small and add to a big soup pan.
2. Add all the other ingredients except the vinegar and pepper.
3. Bring to a boil for about ten minutes and then let simmer for about 80 - 90 minutes, stirring occasionally but more often towards the end.
4. Turn off the heat and stir in the red wine vinegar and season with pepper. I find it doesn't need salt thanks to the tasty stock but feel free to add a pinch.
5. Serve hot.
