1 bell pepper, chopped
4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions
- First, rinse 1 cup of dried lentils and 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any dust or debris.
- Next, in a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they're translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrot and bell pepper to the pot and stir for a few minutes until they start to soften.
- Then, add the rinsed lentils and quinoa to the pot and stir everything together.
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth. The broth should cover the ingredients in the pot.
