That Tasty Lentil Soup Recipe

• 1 28 ounce can / jar organic diced tomatoes (we usually use Muir Glen, Bionaturae or a farmer's market glass jar)
• 1 1/2 cups (dry) brown lentils
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1 whole small to medium size hot pepper (any variety of chile pepper)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon organic low sodium soy sauce (we use wheat free tamari)
• a dash of sea salt
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper

Slowly cook onions in olive oil for twenty minutes over medium heat. Add lentils, tomatoes, whole pepper (not cut), and 6 cups of water. Cook 25 to 30 minutes until lentils are soft; (if using sprouted lentils, cooking time is shorter); add more water if soup is too thick. Add soy sauce and seasonings, stir, let sit. Enjoy. We chopped a touch of basil and sorrel on top for a garnish...
