40 Meatless Meals: Creamy Lentil Soup

This was a cleaning out the refrigerator soup that turned out pretty well.

1/2 cup dried red lentils
8 cups of vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 cup hummus
1 cup cooked pasta

Cook red lentils in enough water to cover them until tender. Stir in stock and hummus; add bay leaf and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in pasta and cook until heated through. Serves 4-6.
