Here is a great recipe for Lentil Soup. I admit to never having liked Lentil Soup, but Hubby loves it, so he asked me to make it for him.
Well, I tried it after I made my first ever batch of this soup, and I am now a convert. Not for just any Lentil Soup, but for mine.
Maribeth’s Lentil Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbs Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Diced Onion
- 1/2 Cup diced carrot
- 1/2 Cup diced celery
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 2-1/2 Cup Dry Lentils
- 1-15 ounce can Diced Tomatoes
- 8 Cups Vegetable Broth
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin
- 1/2 Tsp Coriander
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 Tsp Cardamom
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, celery and salt. Saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
Sort and rinse the Lentils, then add them to the pot, along with the tomatoes, vegetable broth and spices. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the Lentils are tender, about 35-45 minutes.
My recepe is a little different but I love lentil soup too, in fact the whole family ! My son with wife and Toby are here over the weekend, he has grown again !
That recipe sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I love lentil soup … and a tip from my German mother to make it even better: add 1 tbsp of vinegar to your bowl of soup. It makes all the difference!
