Lentils: lower cholesterol. Carrots: beta carotene. Garlic: good for all that ails you. Tomatoes: antioxidants. Iodized salt: for a healthy thyroid. Onion: Vitamin A. What more can I say about this soup?

Ingredients
  • 12 oz lentils (red, brown or green, up to you)
  • Carrots, as many as you like, cut into 1/4 inch coins (I use 10 or 12)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small jar tomato paste or tomato puree (4 to 6 oz)
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Dash of ground cumin
  • Dash of ground coriander
  • 2 tsp iodized salt (or more or less to suit your taste)
  • 1 quart cold water

Directions
  1. Rinse lentils gently to remove extra dust and skins from processing.
  2. In a large kettle or stew pot pour in lentils and water.
  3. Let the lentils soak for a few minutes while you peed and slice carrots.
  4. Place pot on medium heat and while the lentils come to a boil add the onion, tomato paste, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, coriander and salt.
  5. Stir gently until ingredients are mixed.
  6. Add carrot coins and bring soup to a boil.
  7. Turn down heat to a very slight simmer and cover with lid, but set the lid so some steam can escape.
  8. If you need to, you may add more water to make the soup the desired consistency you like.
  9. Simmer gently until carrots and lentils arre tender.
  10. This soup freezes beautifully.
  11. I've made it over 100 times and it is always delicious!

Holy Ramadan Batman!!! I love this soup with a wedge of lemon in it! Lots of different recipes for this. My grand mother used to make this soup. Almost the same recipe with the addition of Lamb and Chick peas.

Great recipe Kath........ Jim

Hi Momo, Tomatoes are a must do for this. Either substitute Grape tomatoes or wait til the scare is over. It wont last forever.

PS.. I see that Batman is still right behind Robin all the way..... ;-)~~
