Revisiting one of my all time favorite cooked soups. It's a creamy and soothing comfort food, for sure. Yumm. I need to make up a batch of this right now. I found this great recipe here and changed it up a bit.
Soothing Red Lentil Soup
2 to 3 Tbsp coconut or saflower oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2t grated fresh ginger
2t mild curry powder
2 cups red lentils, rinsed well
8 cups water or veggie stock (or a mixture of both)
3-4 large carrots, peeled and sliced (I'd double this)
4 cups thinly sliced chard (or kale, spinach, collards)
2 to 3T freshly squeezed lemon juice
2t sea salt
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2t grated fresh ginger
2t mild curry powder
2 cups red lentils, rinsed well
8 cups water or veggie stock (or a mixture of both)
3-4 large carrots, peeled and sliced (I'd double this)
4 cups thinly sliced chard (or kale, spinach, collards)
2 to 3T freshly squeezed lemon juice
2t sea salt
Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot. Saute onions for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder and saute for a minute or so.
Add the red lentils and water or stock. Add the carrots, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour.
Turn off heat, add greens, lemon, and salt. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to let the greens to soften.
sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so cold out that all I can think about is soup! I went to make this yesterday but discovered that I'm out of red lentils. So I made it with green lentils and also added some chopped celery. Soooo good! I can't wait to try it with red lentils. Thanks for the deliciousness!
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you enjoyed it. It's great to make modifications and come up with varied creations. Good for you!
