Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot , thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic , minced
3 cups shiitake mushrooms , sliced
6 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon ground thyme
0.5 teaspoons salt
1 cup green lentils , rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 greens onions , finely chopped, or to taste

Instructions

1

Heat oil in a pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add shallot slices and saute for 1 minute, then add garlic and mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently so garlic doesn't burn. Add vegetable stock, thyme, and salt and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2

Stir in lentils and sesame oil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
3

Divide soup between 4 bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
