I have a really nice lentil soup recipe with molasses!! YUMMY!!!
Molasses Lentil Soup
2 tsp canola oil
1 onion, chopped,
2 cups red lentils
2 red potatoes, diced
2 carrots, diced
8 cups chicken stock
1 cup frozen corn
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 cups tomato juice or v-8 juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tbsp molasses
salt and pepper to taste
In very large pot, heat oil. Add onion; cook for about 4 minutes to soften.
Stir red lentils, potatoes and carrots into onions. Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Add corn, oregano, tomato juice, lemon juice if desired and molasses. Bring to simmer, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. (Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 6 weeks).
Serve extra molasses at the table to drizzle over soup. That's the best part!!
