1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
9 cups of water
3 vegetable stock cubes
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
Place all the ingredients in the crockpot except the mushrooms.
Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 7 hours.
Add the mushrooms to the crockpot and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes. Serve the crockpot rice and lentil soup garnished with fresh thyme.
