White Bean and Tomato Soup

This is super easy, and great for a quick meal.

3 cups vegetable stock
1 28oz can of diced tomatoes
1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup red lentils
1/4 cup fresh basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

Combine all ingredients in a large pot, and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Puree until smooth. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh asiago cheese, and more fresh basil.

If you want to make this in the slow cooker, add all ingredients but basil to the slowcooker, and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Puree once cooked. Top with fresh basil. Don't add the basil while it is cooking, as it won't taste as good if it sits in the pot for the whole day.
