Curried Lentil and Tomato Soup

Curried Lentil and Tomato Soup Curried Lentil and Tomato Soup  

When wanting to serve dried beans in a dish, it takes preparation as the beans need to be soaked the night before; not something you do when in a hurry. However, dried lentils, packed with nutrition and without fat, are the dry-bean answer as they need no preparation time. As the air turns chilly, this light but hearty-flavored soup makes a small bowl for lunch or a main course for dinner with a salad.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons sunflower oil
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1-2 teaspoons curried powder to taste
6 1/2 cups water (more if necessary)
3/4 cup dried green lentils
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes with liquid, chopped
  Salt and pepper
 



METHOD

Heat the oil in a large soup pot coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté about 3 minutes or until just wilted. Add the curry and stir. Add the water and lentils and bring to a boil. Cover; reduce the heat and simmer about 35 minutes or until the lentils are tender, adding a little more water if soup seems dry.

When lentils are ready, transfer 4 cups of the soup to a blender and process until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot. Add the parsley; stir in the vinegar, tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
