Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Lentil Soup, creamy style 2 cups of split dry lentils - boil in about 4 cups of hot water a few minutes, turn off the heat and let it all soak about 6 hours. Drain the beans, rinse them, and set aside. 2 roasted green/red/orange/yellow ( your choice of any 2 ) sweet peppers - I do them on my grill so they are nicely roasted. It only takes a few minutes. Chop them about ½ inch pieces. 1 very large yam or sweet potato, chopped into about 1 inch cubes 1 large or 2 small yellow onions , chopped 1 approx. 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes Veggie broth you make up with Better than Broth vegetable, or boxed veggie stock , about 4 cups 2 cups of spinach, either fresh or frozen (thawed). *Seasoning - 1 and ½ tsp. yellow curry powder, 1 tsp . cumin, 1 and ½ tsp. paprika Juice from half lemon, a few grinds of fresh pepper, Dr. Braggs amino acid liquid - 1- 2 tablespoons or you can use 1 tablespoon of soy sauce if you don't have Dr. Braggs liquid. 3 cloves of garlic, minced Take your crock pot and put the lentils into the bottom, add peppers, onions, yam cubes, diced tomatoes and seasonings listed above with the * For the veggie broth, I make up the 4 cups and I just add it to the crock pot until the mixture is barely covered in the crockpot. Stir in the spinach also at this time. Put the lid on the crock pot and cook on high for about 6 hours, adding liquid if it looks dry. Now, you have a choice . You can either eat it that way seeing all the various colors /shapes individually, or you can let it cool and puree it in small batches so it is pureed and creamy. That is our favorite way tastewise, but the color can be a bit off-putting to some since it turns out a greenish/brown. When you puree it, you might need to add a little more water to your blender. Just make sure you don't try to puree very hot soup ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
