Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 cup celery leaves
3 cherry tomatoes, halved
100 g red lentils (or fagioli) or 100 g borlotti beans (or fagioli) or 100 g butter beans (or fagioli)
500 ml vegetable stock (preferably non salty) or 500 ml chicken stock (preferably non salty)
400 g chopped tomatoes (tinned or self-prepared)
1 tablespoon mixed herbs
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

1
In a pot, place olive oil on a high heat, allow to heat up and then add the crushed garlic and the chopped onions.
2
Turn to a medium heat.
3
Stir until soft, but not brown.
4
Add carrots, celery (NOT LEAVES!
5
), lentils/beans and cherry tomatoes and stir in, allowing to absorb all the flavours.
6
After about 3-5 minutes stirring, allowing the flavours to blend together and the ingredients to soften slightly, add the vegetable stock.
7
I usually crush the stock cube, or sprinkle the stock powder over the vegetables and THEN add the water, but everybody will probably do this differently.
8
Stir again and place a lid over the pot.
9
Allow to simmer for 10-20 minutes.
10
Add tinned chop tomatoes.
11
Stir, and allow to reduce with the lid removed for 5-10 minutes.
12
10 minutes before serving, tear the celery leaves and stir them inches This will give a very pungent smell and will give the soup and exquisite taste.
13
Drizzle each portion with a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil and serve with chunky fresh bread or croutons.
14
Buon appetito!
