Greek Lentil Soup

== Description ==
Greek Lentil Soup is a favorite of mine and is so simple to make. I often make it and then I go do something else. It does well as leftovers.
== Ingredients ==
* 8 cups water
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 vegetable bouillon cube
* olive oil
* salt
* 2 cups sorted, rinsed, uncooked small lentils
* 2 medium carrots, sliced
* 1½ stalks celery, chopped
* (optional) ½ onion, chopped
* 1 small can diced tomatoes
* 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
== Directions ==
# Sort through and rinse the lentils.
# In a large stewpot, add the water, oil, bay leaves, boullion, and salt. Bring to a boil.
# While the liquid is coming to a boil, chop the carrots, onion, and celery. open the can of diced tomatoes.
# Once the liquid is boiling, add all of the ingredients except the vinegar.
# Bring the liquid down to simmer.
# Cook for one hour, checking once halfway through.
# Once the hour is up, add the vinegar and serve fairly warm with fresh bread.
