Hearty Red Lentil Stew image

This hearty red lentil stew is the first recipe I made with my new healthy diet. It was a hit! This is gluten free, and if you remove the white potatoes it can also be nightshade free.

Ingredients

3 cups water, or to taste
2 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cubes vegetable bouillon, or more to taste
½ pound red lentils, rinsed and drained
½ medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and chopped
4 medium carrots, chopped
4 small white potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
¼ pound watercress
¾ cup frozen peas, thawed
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)

Steps:

Bring 3 cups water, onions, garlic, and 2 bouillon cubes to a boil in a large pot. Add lentils, squash, carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes. If the majority of food is not covered in water, add more water and the corresponding amount of bouillon. Bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Add celery and simmer for 5 minutes. Add watercress, peas, dill, and soy sauce. Mash some of the potatoes and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes
