INSTRUCTIONS:

Put all of the ingredients in large soup pot, and stir to combine. Cover, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Serve warm.

Chef’s Note: If you cannot find a pre-package lentil trio blend, you may use any combination of black beluga, red, brown and/or green lentils. Alternately, you may combine and use one or two types of your favorite lentil variety in this recipe.

Chef’s Note: If you cannot find fire-roasted tomatoes, you may substitute canned, regular whole tomatoes.

Chef’s Note: For a spicier stew, use 1 teaspoon garam masala.
