The Lentil Soup

I modified this recipe that I found here: https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/spicy-red-lentil-soup/

1. Boil 4 cups of water in a medium sauce pan.  Add 1 cup of lentils (I used a bag containing a variety of lentils), 1 cup of corn, 2 tsp of chicken bouillon, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1.2 tsp salt.

2.  Reduce to medium heat and add 1/2 bunch of cilantro (chopped), 2 diced tomatoes, and 1 can of black beans (rinsed thoroughly).  Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3.  Serve with an avocado.

This dish was surprisingly delicious.  Even my husband was surprised and pleased by how flavorful it was.

A possible alteration here would be to add shredded chicken if you're looking for more protein.
