7525 Lentilsplit Pea Soup Recipe

7525 Lentilsplit Pea Soup

From joshnova 16 years ago

Warm, hearty, simple, yet robust soup that is great for a cold winter day. The cumin gives it a great Indian soup taste.

-Put olive oil in a 6 Quart Pot and turn on medium heat
-Place carrots, garlic, and onion in pot and sweet until onions are translucent (little more than 5 minutes)
-Add the lentils, split peas, broth, cumin, coriander, bay leaf, salt and pepper
-let the soup come to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer
-cook under lentils and split pea are tender (1.5 hours / usually takes a little longer for the split peas).
-Use a stick blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. I usually prefer to keep a few larger pieces of lentils in for texture.
-Serve

I made this soup for some friends who came over tonight (two of them are vegetarians) and everyone loved it. I'm glad you mentioned using the hand blender to puree it in the pan; so much easier than trying to put hot soup in the blender! I would make it again, but next time will probably add more broth because it cooked down quite a lot.

Perfect, well besides the fact that there is no garlic mentioned anywhere ^_^ other than that I've made this a million times. Great recipe.
