I’ve been craving some food, which brings back memories of the Camino de Santiago for a while and this meat-free version of the wonderful Sopa de Lentejas, fills that need. The rock salt and mushroom broth give enough ‘meaty’ flavor that I just didn’t miss the bacon.

2 Cups brown lentils
8 Cups Mushroom Broth
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1 Large Onion, chopped
1 Large Carrot, chopped
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Cup Tomatoes, chopped
1 Tsp Spanish Paprika
1 Medium Potato, peeled and diced
1 Tblsp Tomato Paste
3 Bay Leaves
1 Tsp Rock Salt
