I love throwing everything in a pot and just letting it simmer and reduce. It's an easy way to extract the maximum amount of flavor with the least amount of effort.

1/2 yellow onion, sliced
1 poblano, diced
1 jalapeno, deseeded, diced
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tsps soy sauce
2 tbls olive oil
1 tbl asian garlic chili sauce
1/2 can chick peas, whole can of brine
1/3 cup white wine
2 tsps celery seed
1 tbl nutritional yeast
2 tsps dry thyme
2 tsps dry rosemary
3 dry shishito peppers, broken, deseeded
1/2 cup dry lentils
5 cups water

Toss it all in a pot. Do not cover. Let it come to a boil. Then simmer for at 25 minutes.That's it. Easy and delicious!
