As the temperature continues to dip, our lust for soup as a family increases. Naturally I start to go through my soup rolodex, starting with favorites such as the vegetable soup recipe and creamy potato leek soup recipe. Then I move on to searching for new recipes to try like this homemade lentil soup recipe.
When making soups most of us try to avoid dealing with too many ingredients. There is quite a large list of ingredients, but that includes spices and herbs too. There are many different flavors coming out of just one bowl of soup, and this is what I really love about this recipe. It will take about an hour of your time, to make this soup including your prep time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- olive oil
- green or brown lentils
- large onion
- garlic
- oregano
- ground cumin
- celery stalks
- carrots
- chicken or vegetable stock
- crushed or chopped tomatoes with juice
- tomato paste
- fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
- large bowl
- large stockpot
- water
The first thing you want to do is to boil water to prepare your lentils. Whilst they sit in the boiling water you can prepare the other ingredients in a large stock pot. Saute the onions, followed by garlic and then adding the cumin, carrots, oregano as well as celery. The tomato paste, tomatoes, stock, parsley and lentils are last to go into the stock pot.
Leave to simmer, with no lid for at least 45 minutes. This soup can be served immediately or stored in your fridge. Unfrozen you can store it for up to 72 hours in an airtight container. You can also freeze it in either a container or freezer bag and store in freezer for a few months.
