French lentil recipe:French Lentil Soup
• 3 tablespoons extra–virgin olive oil
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 cup chopped celery stalks plus chopped celery leaves for garnish
• 1 cup chopped carrots

Preparation
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium–high heat. Add onions,
celery, carrots, and garlic; sauté until vegetables begin to brown,
about 15 minutes. Add 4 cups broth, lentils, and tomatoes with juice
and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium–low, cover, and simmer until
lentils are tender, about 35 minutes.
Transfer 2 cups soup (mostly solids) to blender and puree until smooth.
Return puree to soup in pan; thin soup with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls,
if too thick. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of vinegar, if
desired. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with celery leaves.
