Ingredients

 
1 yellow onion, diced
 
4 cloves garlic, minced
 
2 carrots, cut into match-sticks
 
3 Yukon gold potatoes, diced
 
1 cup red lentils
 
2 T fresh rosemary, finely chopped
 
4 medium tomatoes, diced
 
2 T jalapeno pepper, minced
 
5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
 
1 tsp black pepper
 
2 pears, chopped into match-sticks

Directions

In a 7-quart pot, sauté the carrots, garlic and onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes. If needed, add water or vegetable broth to keep vegetables from sticking.
Add all of the remaining ingredients, except pears. Bring to a boil, cover, and lower heat. Simmer on medium-low for 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Add pears and continue to simmer for 5 more minutes.
