Ingredients
Dry Soup Mix Ingredients:
- 1 cup lentils of your choice (green or brown lentils will stay more intact at the end of the cook time. You can also use red lentils to get a creamier, more broken down lentil texture.)

- 1/2 cup green split peas
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large vegetable bouillon cubes – each cube should be equivalent to 1 tablespoon of granulated bouillon
- 8 cups water
Optional Ingredients:
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon oil of your choice (olive oil, avocado oil, etc.)
- 1-14.5 ounce can no salt added diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chopped vegetables of your choice (carrots, celery, bell peppers, etc.)
- Crusty bread and Parmesan cheese, for serving

Notes
*I like to gift this dry soup mix with an onion and 1 can of diced tomatoes. However, if you are not including the onion and diced tomatoes, skip the step of sauteing the onion.

If you don't have boullion cubes on hand, substitute the 8 cups of water for 8 cups of vegetable broth.
