I often order lentil soup from the middle-eastern restaurant close to my work. I still haven’t been able to match the taste of their soup, but this recipe is still delicious!
Curried Lentil Soup Recipe
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
10 cups water
2 cups red lentils
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp dried mint
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
lemon juice
Cook vegetables with olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat, until soft
Add remaining ingredients (except lemon juice) to pot and bring soup to boil
Cover pot and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes
Use an immersion blender to puree soup to desired consistency
Serve soup with a splash of lemon juice
Yum! It’s winter here so I can imagine making this and enjoying it on a cold night. Thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂
