MODERATORS
This is a recipe that I have saved from one of the now defunct myrecipe publications. It's no longer available on the web due to the closure / sale of the company.
Red Lentil Soup
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large celery rib, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 (6 ounces) baking potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1 (8 ounces) rounded cup red lentils
1 1/2 quarts vegetable stock or broth
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation Steps
In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the celery and carrot and cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes. Add the potato, lentils and stock; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 40 minutes. Puree the soup in batches and return it to the saucepan. Add the cumin, cayenne and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
Also, sorry about the freedumb units.
