  1. Rinse and drain the lentils, then set aside.

  3. In a pot, sweat the leek and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat about 3-4 min. Add the remaining vegetables, lentils, and broth, then bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 25 min or until the lentils are tender.
  4. Adjust the seasoning then serve.
