Easy Lentil Soup

I have always loved cooking, and now that I am no longer working I have time to find and experiment with new recipes. The addition of a Thermomix to my kitchen has also helped in this process, as well as making life much easier!

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 yellow onion, diced

2 large carrots, thinly sliced

4 celery stalks, thinly sliced

3 to 4 cups bite-sized chopped potatoes, I used small yukon gold potatoes

¼ cup fresh chopped parsley

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sweet or smoky paprika, adjust spice to your own preference

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

6 cups low sodium vegetable broth

3 sprigs fresh thyme

1 bay leaf

1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed and drained

3 dried red chili peppers, hot or sweet, tops removed, cut in fourths lengthwise (if you can't find any, use about 1 teaspoon more paprika ½ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste)

3 cups chopped leafy greens, I used swiss chard, but you can use baby spinach, or kale, or collard greens, and so on
