French Lentil Soup

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery stalks plus chopped celery leaves for garnish
1 cup chopped carrots
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
1 1/4 cups lentils, rinsed and drained
l 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
Balsamic vinegar

Like I've mentioned before, I wasn't really a soup kinda guy. Still not. But my friend's wife (yes, she's a redheaded vegetarian) made some lentil soup for us one evening a few years ago. I have to admit, it did tickle my fancy.

The recipe above calls for some blender/food processor action. Makes it smooth like Camel cigarettes...


It looks like split pea soup. I really hated that stuff when I was a young lad... It's probably split pea soup that turned me off soup for 20 years. Disgusting.
