@ Natasja – I used dried lentils, but I think you could use canned. I’ve never worked with canned but I’d assume they would be fine. You’d probably need to cook them for less time. Luck!

Hi – do you use dried lentils for this recipe (I could only find canned ones?) and do you need to soak them beforehand?
I am such an amateur :P

@ Kate – I still use and love that mug! It’s the first one I ever bought when I moved out on my own a looooong time ago, ha! And we miss you too!!!

@ Sandra – It is!

@ Homegrown Texan – It’s the little things that make the meal, no? =)

@ Richard – I always use old veggies that I wouldn’t be able to use up fresh (when I get caught with overstock), so it doesn’t feel like a waste. I compost the veggie mush when I’m done.

Sautéing is important because it adds fat, which gives the broth that extra richness and depth.

@ Marcus – Fixed! Thanks!

@ Julie – Really? That’s awesome that they’re giving out lentils. I should totally submit my recipe! I’ll look into it, thanks lady.

@ Salekdarling – Did you make it? How did it go??

You should submit this to WIC! Lentils are one of the foodstuffs given to all pregnant women and their kids and they are always looking for recipes to be dispersed to participants! Some of their recipes are ridiculous because they call for like 10 other expensive ingredients. This one is great- healthy, ethical and inexpensive!

This recipe looks very easy and good, but what is the ingredient after the garlic?

I’m more of a red lentil guy they turn all mushy though so I might try these green ones :)
this finally got me inspired to make some Homemade stock/broth that you put the recipe up for. The results were a bit meh for me tbh, probably becuase I guessed the method and didn’t suate the garlic or cover the pot (doh), what do you do with the left over stock veggies? it seems a waste to throw them away.

Sounds like a delicious and easy recipe, but I have to say the “serve in an old chipped mug” is my almost my favorite part! :)
