• 3 carrots, cut into large chunks
• 3 roma tomatoes, cut in half
• 1 teaspoon oil
• salt and pepper
• 2 teaspoons Bouquet Garni herb blend (or ¼ tsp each of dried rosemary, thyme, and parsley)
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• ½ cup uncooked lentils

Directions

• Place the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, and tomatoes in a food processor, blender, or Nutribullet. Blend until a puree forms.
• Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Once heated, add the vegetable puree. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the herbs. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the soy sauce, diced tomatoes, lentils, and quinoa. Stir to combine.
