Ingredients
1 Tbs avocado onion
½ C Chopped onion
½ C Chopped celery
½ C Chopped Carrot
½ C Chopped Zucchini
12 oz Chopped Mushrooms
3 cloves Minced garlic
32 oz Vegetable Stock

Instructions
If I am having a stressful day, the vegetables get chopped by hand. If I am in a hurry, a food processor is handy. While chopping the vegetables, cover the lentils with boiling water in a large bowl and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drain.
In large pot on medium heat, saute the onions, celery, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms and garlic until tender and aromatic. Add vegetable stock then drained lentils. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour until the lentils are cooked through. Season to taste. Serve with parsley garnish.
