Hearty vegan soup with subtle apple flavour... mmm! Ingredients:
2 cups dried lentils |
8 cups water |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 large onions, chopped |
2 large carrots, chopped |
1 celery rib, chopped |
2 dried bay leaves |
2 teaspoons cumin |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped |
Directions:
1. Rinse dried lentils and simmer in water for 1 hour or less until tender, depending on the size of the lentil. Alternatively, used canned lentils and skip this step (but still rinse them).
2. Heat olive oil in large saucepan and sautée garlic, onion, carrot, and celery with dried spices until tender.
3. Add parsley, cilantro, lentils, and water and bring to a boil, simmer partially covered for one hour.
4. Purée 3/4 of the batch in a blender, or just use a potato masher right in the pot.
5. Return soup to pot, heat and serve :).
