Lentil Vegetable Pottage image

From "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" by Jeanne Marie Martin. I changed the recipe a little: less celery, more carrots, a little more salt. I don't use the onion, garlic or bell peppers, personal preference. The Homemade Boullion Cubes and Vegetable Broth Powder are recipes in the same book. They look time and labor intensive and I haven't made them yet - I skip them and put in the tamari. She suggests simmering the tamari to kill any yeast or mold in it, but I don't know why you would have to in this recipe, since the tamari is cooked for at least 15 minutes.
