To make this Lentil and Vegetable Chili, you'll need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup of lentils
- 1/2 cup of chopped vegetables (such as onions, bell peppers, and carrots)
- 1/2 cup of canned diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, rinse the lentils and set them aside. In a large pot, sauté the chopped vegetables until they're tender. Add the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, add the lentils and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the chili cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
When the chili is done, it should have a thick and hearty consistency. The lentils should be soft and tender, and the vegetables should be cooked through. The flavor should be savory and slightly spicy, with a hint of sweetness from the tomatoes.
