Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I adapted this from 2 recipes. I love this. As soon as I was done with the pot of soup, I made it again 2 days later. It freezes well too. Donna Red Lentil Delightful Soup 1 1/2 cups red lentils (not brown or green) 2 Tbls. oil (I used olive oil) 1 brown onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced or squeezed 1 tsp. curry powder of choice (mild, med. or hot) 2 Tbls group cumin (yes that is corerect! ) 1 15 oz. can chopped tomatoes with liquid, (I used Italian one time and Mexican the next and both were good) 1 Tbl. honey or maple syrup 2 or 3 whole bay leaves 1 Tbl. red or white wine vinegar salt & pepper to taste if needed Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over med. heat. Saute onion and garlic for 4 or 5 mins. Stir in the red lentils, curry powder and cumin and cook until lentils and oil are coated and fragrant from spices. Stir in tomatoes with juice, bay leaves and honey, and add 7 cups of water. Taste and season with salt & pepper. Bring to a boil, cover pan and turn flame to simmer. Simmer on low for 20 minutes or until lentils are soft and falling apart and soup is thick. Add a little water if needed. Remove bay leaves, still in the vinegar and serve.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 ok Donna, tell us what group cumin is......... You said " yes that is correct " after it. This sounds yummy and perfect for anytime, but especially on a cold day...... Thanks for sharing this. I've been waiting for this, since you were talking about how much you liked it the other day.........

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 It calls for a large amount of ground cumin and I didn't want anyone to think I made an error, it really balances out in flavor. I meant ground not group LOL I will file the recipe now and correct that. Don't skip any ingredients and plain canned tomatoes will work too. I'm so sorry it took me such a long time to post. It's almost dusk and there is a dark shadow across the computer screen so I won't post another recipe until hopefully tomorrow. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 LOL well I thought you might have meant ground, but wanted to check because of your comment. No problem, I'm queen of the typo's too. Thanks. You're right that is a fair big of cumin. Bet it makes it good. I recently put some toasted cumin seeds in a lentil soup and I loved the crunch and flavor of that ... I might even add some of those to it when I make it.
