Recipe: Low-Maintenance Lentil Soup

Serves 4

Full Disclosure: This recipe borrows heavily from the Moosewood Cookbook in terms of method, but that recipe is too damn bland. Get freaky with your bad self.

1 c dried lentils
4 c water
½ t salt (plus more to taste)
½ onion, diced
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 t thyme
1-2 T lemon pepper (probably more)

Put the salt in the water and get it boiling. Put in the lentils and onions. Put on the lowest heat and then cook it for an hour. Put in the tomatoes, thyme, and lemon pepper. Let simmer about 10 min. Add more salt as you deem necessary.
