Got this recipe on Epicurious.com...made some changes of my own...very good soup! I added more carrots and celery to get more veggies in. Also, I used a hand blender to process it a bit to add a creamier texture to it...I recommend doing this, it is delicious!
RED LENTIL SOUP
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 carrots, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh or canned tomato
1 celery rib, chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric ( I added this on my own for extra flavor)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried red lentils
1 1/2 cups water (original recipe had 4 cups water and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth - I like chicken broth better)
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Stir in parsley, then season with salt and pepper.


Too funny that you posted this today! I made red lentil soup this morning and didn't really have a recipe to work with. It turned out I put too much liquid in it though....so I just tossed in some split peas to thicken it up a bit (hopefully)! I wish I had seen your recipe earlier!
