Lentil Vegetable Stew

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 7 -8 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 1 (15 ounce) can green beans (drained)
• 1 (15 ounce) can corn (drained)
• 3 -4 carrots, chopped (enough to fill a 15 oz can)
• 3 potatoes, chopped (enough to fill a 15 oz can)
• 2 -3 stalks celery, chopped (enough to fill a 15 oz can)
• 1 medium onion, chopped (enough to fill a 15 oz can)
• 1/2 cup lentils (use more or less depending on how soupy or stewy you want it, the lentils absorb a lot of water)
• 1 (12 ounce) jar pizza sauce (trust me, this is key)

Recipe

• 1 in a very large pot, add cans of green beans and corn.
• 2 what i do next is chop up the other ingredients (save the lentils) to fill an empty green bean or corn can and add the ingredients a can at a time. so chop up your desired ingredients and add them each to the pot, including the lentils.
• 3 once all your veggies and beans are in the pot, add chicken or vegetable broth one cup at a time until you reach your desired broth level, keeping in mind that the lentils will absorb quite a bit of water. i find that a cup of broth per can of veggies is just about right.
• 4 add the pizza sauce.
• 5 stir well and bring to a boil then let simmer for about an hour, or until veggies are as tender as you like them, stirring occasionally.
• 6 serve and enjoy!
