  • 28 ounce can tomatoes, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable broth/seasoning, instant
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups lentils, dried (picked over, rinsed and drained)

  • 4 ounce can chopped green chilies, drained
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 1 teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (or as desired)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.

  5. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
  6. Stir in the corn, bell pepper, green chilies, cumin, coriander and salt. Bring mixture to a boil.

Notes

You can use 2 cups of vegetable broth in place of the vegetable seasoning and water.

You may use 2 servings of vegetable bouillon in place of the vegetable broth/seasoning.

Try 2 cups of fresh corn in place of the frozen. Use canned corn if that is all you have.
