1 onion
1 clove of garlic
10 mint leaves

Preparazione
- Chop the celery, carrot, onion and garlic into small pieces, then fry them gently in a pan with oil, salt, wild mint and thyme leaves.
- When the vegetables are golden, after about 10 minutes, add the lentils and leave them to absorb the flavours with the lid on for about 5 minutes.
- Add water until the lentils are covered, add the tomato and boil for about 1 hour.
- Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for a further 20 minutes or so.
- The soup should be served hot, and don’t forget to drizzle a little oil over it once you’ve ladled it into your bowl 😉
- Enjoy your meal!
