It really does taste nice.
The summer is behind us and we need warm foods. Yesterday I made red Lentil soup. It's a really simple easy and cheap recipe for any time of year. (vegetarian dish) #soup #vegetarian -
Ingredients red lentil soup
To make a medium sized pot of lentil soup I use 250 gr dried lentils, a tin of tomatoes or 6 fresh tomatoes, 1 large onion, 2 medium sized carrots about 200gm, 1 tbs tomato puree, 2 vegetable stock cubes for 1 ltr water, from the garden I used a few sprigs of time, parsley and celery leaves, salt and pepper. And that's about it. -
Cut all the vegatables into small pieces
Dice the onion and carrots and add them to a medium sized pot with approximately 1 to 1,5 liters of boiling water. Add the stock cubes and leave it on a low heat simmering for 40 minutes. -
Cooking the soup
After the soup has been simmering for 40 minutes add the tin of tomatoes, some pepper, and a spoonful of tomato puree and then taste it to see if it needs salt. You might not need salt as the stock cubes contain enough sodium for 1 ltr. Take out your blender and give the soup a good 30 seconds to 1 minute whizz. It should turn orange. -
Cut you leafy herbs and add them to the pot.
