Re: Lentil soup recipes?
Oh, I love red lentils. I made curried red lentil soup almst weekly. It's my favorite, and G will sometimes eat it. Here's a guide:
Chop up an onion and a few carrots, saute in oil until soft
add curry powder (really to taste, but at least 1 tsp) (can also add tumeric, ginger, cumin, any typical curry spices, or garam masala), let the spices get fragrant
add lentils (I usually use 1.5-2 cups),saute for a minute or so
add water/chicken stock, 6 cups or enough to cover the lentils plus a little extra
simmer until lentils are done
(I usually blend with a stick blender, but it's not necessary)
when the soup's basically done, add some frozen chopped spinach
add water as necessary to maintain your preferred thickness.
I could and practically do eat this for lunch every day.
