Tempeh-Hummus Sandwich & Lentil Soup

Tempeh sandwiches are my favorite, easy go-to meal. You can put whatever you want on yours, but my usual includes:
- Toasted Rye Bread
- Hummus
- Greens
- Onions (fried on skillet)
- Red Peppers (fried on skillet)
- Tomatoes
- Tempeh (fried on skillet with soy sauce)

The peppers, onion, and tempeh take about five minutes on the skillet, so it's super easy.

Lentil soup is also easy, though it takes longer to cook. It's very versatile: you can add anything you want! Here's how I made this batch:

1) Chop up one white onion, one large carrot, two stalks of celery, and five cloves of garlic. Throw them in a large pot with a tablespoon of olive oil. Heat on medium for about eight minutes.

2) Add one 14.5 can of diced petite tomatoes, whatever herbs you like, and some salt and pepper. Heat for five minutes.

3) Add 5 cups of vegetable broth and 1 cup of lentils. Bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer for 40 minutes.

4) Five minutes before the soup is done, stir in a few cups of spinach to taste.

Done!
