1 onion, chopped 1-2 cloves garlic, minced 16 oz lentils 3 medium carrots, diced 3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped salt and pepper 6oz can tomato paste 1 can garbanzo beans, drained
Carmelize onion, if you have time, or just saute until very soft. Add garlic and saute until soft.
Stir in lentils, carrots, celery, salt and pepper. Cover with water to two inches above ingredients.
Bring to boil, then lower heat. Simmer until lentils are soft, at least one hour. Add tomato paste, which is optional, and cook for another hour, being careful not to accidentally let it start to boil. During the second hour, add salt and pepper to taste.
Add garbanzos last, about fifteen minutes before serving.
