Carrot And Red Lentil Soup Recipe

	Bellarosa / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago A lovely, simple soup which is nutritious and doesn't taste too much of "lentils"! It lends itself well to slight variations and you can add various toppings depending on preference. Prep:15m Cook:45m Servings:68	Bellarosa

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter

2 medium onions or leeks, chopped

3 large carrots, chopped

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 & 1/2 cups red lentils [or other]

1 can tomatoes, or 4 fresh tomatoes roughly chopped

7 cups vegetable stock

1 teaspoon powdered cumin

1 teaspoon powdered coriander

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots and cook for a few minutes, stirring. Add the garlic in a space in the middle of the pan and cook for another minute, stirring.

Add the stock, lentils and tomatoes, and bring just to the boil. Simmer with the lid slightly ajar for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Using a hand blender, puree the soup leaving it slightly chunky, then add the cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat another five minutes.

For variation, add some curry powder or ginger for a different flavour. Extra tomato adds more tang and reduces the need for salt.

Serve with anything you like - crusty bread and butter, sour cream, yogurt, chopped parsley or grated parmesan.

Hi there
We had a movie and soup night at our permaculture meeting yesterday and it was the first to go by a long shot. Everyone wanted the recipe, and even the kids got stuck into it!
Thanks for your post.
