Green Bean, Potato, & Lentil Soup

Growing up, one of my favorite meals was "Green bean, potato, and ham" soup. I've been trying to think of a way to make that vegetarian. This is my version - not the same, but it turned out pretty well!

I sauteed 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves garlic. Then I added 1c lentils, 10 sage leaves, 1 bay leaf, and 6 cups veggie stock. I brought this to a simmer. After it has been simmering for 15 minutes, I added 5 diced little red potatoes. When the potatoes were soft, I added a few handfuls of frozen green beans. They really just needed to thaw, so I turned the heat off then and let it cool a little. I fished out the bay and sage leaves as I was serving. It's definitely not the same, but it turned out pretty good.
