To serve as a soup, reheat with broth just to cover in a microwaveable bowl or a saucepan on the stove top. Directions<\/span><\/p>\n

In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the carrot, celery, onion, oil, herbes de Provence, and bay leaf. Stir. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften. Add the lentils and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant. Add the broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Partially cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the lentils are very soft but not mushy. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the salt and pepper. Serve in pasta bowls. Drizzle about 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar on each serving. Sprinkle on the parsley and cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n
