Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 ounces red lentils -- soaked 30 minutes

1 1/2 pounds carrots -- scrubbed, trimmed

1 large onion -- sliced

5 cups water or vegetable stock

1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs

1 large bunch fresh coriander -- finely chopped

salt and black pepper

4 sprigs fresh coriander -- for garnish

 

1. Drain the lentils. Put into a saucepan with the carrots and onion and cover

with the water or stock. Bring to the boil and add the herbs. Simmer covered,

for 45 minutes.

 

2. Pour into the food processor and blend to a puree. Season to taste with salt

and pepper, then stir in the chopped coriander (cilantro).

 

3. To serve, warm through, pour into soup bowls and garnish with a sprig of

fresh coriander.

 

" HERBES DE PROVENCE are among the best mixed herbs; Greek thymes and marjoram

are hard to beat; Moroccan souks sell wonderful dried mountain herbs; and French

markets never fail. So bring back little packs from your travels to enjoy at

home. " - Rosamond

NOTES : I love this soup on winter days for a warming lunch, served with soda

bread. It is hard to beat. You can also make it with mint instead of coriander

and that is excellent too. -- Rosamond
