1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 whole Large Onion, Chopped
2 whole Large Stalks Celery, Diced
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
2 whole Bay Leaves
1 can (14 Oz. Size) Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Dried Brown Lentils
4-3/4 cups Low-sodium Vegetable Or Chicken Broth, Divided
3 cups Water
1 can (14 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
1/4 cups Chopped Parsley
1 pinch Salt To Taste
1 pinch Pepper To Taste

1
Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan set over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, 6 to 7 minutes.
2
Add garlic, smoked paprika and bay leaves and saute for 30 seconds.
3
Stir in diced tomatoes with juices, lentils, 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth and the water. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
4
Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Transfer half of the lentil mixture, half of the black beans and 3/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth to the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse until combined, but not pureed. It should be a chunky texture.
5
Pour the blender mixture back into the lentils in the saucepan, along with the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth and remaining black beans. Stir and reheat over medium heat. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
