Creole Inspired Lentil and Okra Stew
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped onions (½ medium)
1 cup chopped red bell peppers (1 medium)
2 tbsp minced garlic (about 7 cloves)
½ tsp dried cayenne pepper
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried sage
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cups crushed tomatoes
1 cup green lentils
5 1/2 cups frozen cut okra (or fresh)
4 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp hot sauce - not tabasco (optional)
Directions
1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat.
2. Add onions and bell peppers to the pan. Stir constantly. Add a little broth, a
tablespoon at a time if needed, to prevent sticking. This process should take about 10
minutes.
3. When the mirepoix (onions and bell peppers) is tender, add the garlic and stir for
about a minute more.
4. Add a few tablespoons of broth, stir, and include the herbs and spices: cayenne pepper,
thyme, sage, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian
seasoning.
5. Stir in the tomatoes and stir for a minute or so.
6. Add ½ cup broth and okra; stir and simmer for 5 minutes, continuously stirring.
7. Add the rest of the broth and lentils. Bring to a light boil, stir, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 30 to 45 minutes until lentils are cooked to desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
8. Take a cup of the stew and blend for 2-3 seconds and pour back into the pot.
9. Stir and simmer for about 5 more minutes.
10. When done, the consistency should be similar to a thick, chunky gravy. Add additional
broth or water for a thinner consistency, if desired.
11. Serve over rice or a baked potato.
12. Enjoy!

Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe
This delicious Lentil soup recipe is jam-packed with spices and caramelized vegetables to bring about an incredibly flavorful soup. This is one of the easiest-to-make most nutritious soups on my website and the taste is beyond amazing.
Lentils are a legume that is indigenous to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Countries. They are seeds of a plant that are jam packed with fiber, potassium and protein and make for a great meat replacement.
Since lentils are starchy, earthy in flavor, and can be on the bland side, there are many ways to make them flavorful including by adding them into soup. When other ingredients are introduced that compliment lentils like onions, garlic, spices, and lemon, the taste is out of this world.
There are many variations of lentil soup depending on where you live so do not be surprised if you see different ingredients in it. My version is much more of a Middle Eastern Lebanese style.
