We love red lentils. Here’s a wonderful soup that’s sure to please everyone!
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups red lentils, rinsed
- 2 T vegetable broth (we like McKay’s)
- 1 C kale, shredded and chopped
- 1/4 C minced fresh dill
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Heat the onions in a soup pot in a little water. Sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until both are golden.
- Add vegetable seasoning with 6 cups water, followed by the lentils. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently until the lentils are mushy, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and insert an immersion blender. Process until the soup is smoothly pureed. Or, puree in batches in a food processor.
- If the soup is too thick, adjust the consistency with just a bit more water. Return to low heat and stir in the kale and dill. Cook just until piping hot. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
