February is Cancer Prevention Month and we're challenging everyone to Do Something every day to lower cancer risk. This recipe is an easy and delicious way to get healthy today. Lentils are rich in protein, fiber and cancer-fighting phytochemicals. In fact, a single cup of these pulses provides more than half your daily value of fiber. Paired with sauteed carrots, peppers and onions, this soup packs flavor and nutrition in one pot.

1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 medium carrots, sliced thin
2 celery stalks, sliced thin
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, chopped medium
1 bunch bok choy, chopped (use green leaves and 2 inches of white stalk)

3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 tsp fresh minced ginger
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
