Winter Vegetable Soup

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:30:05 -0400

This soup is a family favourite. It's a great way of using left-over winter vegetables and also sneaking a few more vitamins past the kids. Adding the cabbage towards the end helps preserve its flavour and prevent the dreaded "boiled cabbage smell" permeating your kitchen! Experiment with different flavours and this will soon become a trusty warming soup for chilly winter's days. This soup freezes really well. You might want to add a bit more liquid when you defrost it, as it thickens on freezing. -- posted by English_Rose

Makhlouta 1 - Vegetarian Hearty Lebanese Lentil & Bean Soup

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:16:45 -0400

Makhlouta is a delicious filling soup which has been made traditionally in Lebanon for hundreds of years - usually it has 7 main pulse/grain ingredients. This is the pressure cooker method but you can do it the traditional way using a large pot & simmer the soup until the lentils, beans & chick peas are tender. Feel free to add some stock / bouillion cubes to this soup along with any additional spices you might like. I have added chicken to this on occasion too. This is the first version of Makhlouta, I will be posting another version too. Time to make doesn't include overnight soaking of the pulses. -- posted by Um Safia

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:43:24 -0400

I found this recipe on lowfatlifestyle.com last week and was intrigued by it. I'm always looking for new dishes to make when our son and his wife come for dinner. They're vegetarians and we aren't, so sometimes grilled cheese or mac and cheese get old. So, I haven't tried this yet, but am posting it for safe keeping. Warning: cardamom and garam masala are expensive spices and this recipe only uses a little. So, if you can find them at some place like Whole Foods, you can buy just a little from the bulk aisle and save $$$. -- posted by clarinet player

Tomato Lentil Soup

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:17:29 -0400

I usually hate lentils, but they are delicious in this soup! I probably use twice the amount of adobo seasoning that I listed, but I doubt that many other people can stomach that much garlic! I would wager that this recipe is very easy, considering that I made it up on the fly when I was hungry one night. -- posted by Meguin

Red Lentil Stew

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:56:17 -0400

This recipe was adapted from my daughter's history book (The Story of the World, Volume 2), of all places -- in studying medieval monasteries, we discovered that this could have been a typical "monk's supper," It's very satisfying and the flavors come together almost like a minestrone (minus the pasta). I made some changes and added lots more veggies than the original called for (rendering it less authentic, but much tastier!). -- posted by ChicPeaz

Cook's Illustrated Hearty Lentil Soup

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:17:44 -0500

From the Cook's Illustrated website: Lentils du Puy, sometimes called French green lentils, are our first choice for this recipe, but brown, black, or regular green lentils are fine, too. Note that cooking times will vary depending on the type of lentils used. Lentils lose flavor with age, and because most packaged lentils do not have expiration dates, try to buy them from a store that specializes in natural foods and grains. Before use, rinse and then carefully sort through the lentils to remove small stones and pebbles. The soup can be made in advance. After adding the vinegar in step 2, cool the soup to room temperature and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To serve, heat it over medium-low until hot, then stir in the parsley. -- posted by darthlaurie

W. Sonoma Indian Red Lentil Soup

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:48:16 -0500

This recipe is from the Williams Sonoma "Soup for Supper" cookbook. I think it is exceptionally good. While lentil soup is usually comfort food, this variation makes it a bit exotic, too. The fragrant Indian spices lighten and brighten the simple, homey flavor of the soup. Red lentils have a tendency to break down into a coarse puree as they cook, so if you prefer some texture, omit the blender or food processor step. -- posted by The Mad Slovak

i just kinda threw in what i had and thought would taste good together. i recently tried making saag and learned i really like the ginger/garlic combo. i'm a little of this, a little of that kind of gal so i've guesstimated some of the amounts. i used significantly more paprika and cayenne and almost burned my face off it was so spicy so i way toned those down. obviously adjust according to how spicy you like things. -- posted by jenessa

Soup With Tomato and Red Lentils

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 00:38:58 -0500

This is one of the few tasty ways I've found to prepare lentils---the spices are key! I've made this soup with regular lentils when I can't find red ones and it is still delicious. I've also used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, which also works well. Rinse lentils right before adding to soup so they won't stick together. Recipe came from Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices. -- posted by Chef #1098570

Lentil Vegetable Stew

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:49:42 -0500

This is derived from a turkey vegetable soup my Mum used to make the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas, using leftover turkey meat. I tend to use lentils these days instead, with everything else staying pretty much the same. Obviously this is delicious with the meat as well if you prefer, but when you use lentils you don't miss the meat at all! Very easy to make in bulk to keep as leftovers, and it freezes very well. The recipe lends itself well to versatility: just put in about a can's worth of whatever you want, adding a cup of broth for each cup's worth of ingredient. Can be made completely vegetarian by using vegetable broth. -- posted by SJBG

Lentil Barley Soup

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:58:09 -0500

From fatfreevegan.com, adapted from NewCenturyNutrition.com Based on a recipe by J. Raymond Thick enough to be called a stew, this hearty soup is easy to prepare and cooks in a single pot. Add more water or stock if you wish to have a thinner soup. Pearl barley is the variety most commonly sold in supermarkets. Natural food stores offer hulled barley, which is slightly less refined and cooks in about the same amount of time. -- posted by Chef #1109421

Lentil Chowder

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:26:08 -0500

This is a recipe I got out of a magazine (around 20 years ago) that really fills you up on a cold day. The main ingredients (lentils, ham, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onions) can cook all day in either a crockpot, or a stove-top pot - although I have always made it in a crock pot. The addition of mushroom soup, beef boullion granules and parsley help with the overall taste and seasoning. This recipe is easily adjusted for personal taste (can omit one of the vegetables, or add more/less of one) and takes very little preparation time. The soup tastes great as a leftover, too! -- posted by Midwest Mama

Lentil Minestrone Soup

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:40:14 -0500

A satisfying main dish soup from "The Best Vegetarian Recipes" by Martha Rose Shulman. The pasta and rice absorb a lot of the liquid, so the soup is thick (add more water if you want a brothier soup). Advance preparation: The soup is even better if it's made a day ahead of time; but don't add the pasta or rice or parsley until you reheat. Then proceed with step 4. It will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator and for 3 to 4 months in the freezer. -- posted by blucoat

I'm sure you could play with it even more than I did adding garlic, carrots etc. It can also be made with a ham or beef bone omitting the bouillon cubes. It didn't specify the type of lentils but looking at the cooking time I surmised it was a whole type. I used whole red lentils (Masoor) which turned out perfect! I also added in some cooked crumbled bacon per my husband's request and it was great in it. -- posted by Engrossed

Incredibly flavorful and filling, my whole family LOVED it, and none of us thought we would like lentils! For the vinegar, we used red wine vinegar. If desired, add spicy smoked sausage or left-over ham to this soup. We cut up some cocktail smoked sausages and added it to the soup, which was a nice and spicy bonus. For the 1 1/2 cups of chopped tomatoes, you'll need 2 medium tomatoes, or just use a can of chopped tomatoes like I did. -- posted by Rachel Lynn

Lentil Vegetable Pottage

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:32:07 -0400

From "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" by Jeanne Marie Martin. I changed the recipe a little: less celery, more carrots, a little more salt. I don't use the onion, garlic or bell peppers, personal preference. The Homemade Boullion Cubes and Vegetable Broth Powder are recipes in the same book. They look time and labor intensive and I haven't made them yet - I skip them and put in the tamari. She suggests simmering the tamari to kill any yeast or mold in it, but I don't know why you would have to in this recipe, since the tamari is cooked for at least 15 minutes. -- posted by Jetta

Vegan Lentil Soup in 20 Minutes

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:25:45 -0400

I admit, the first time I used a pressure cooker I was a little afraid. I left my studio and stood on the other side of the door to avoid severe burning and disfigurement if my pot of legumes exploded. I called a friend to ask her if I was doing it right. But now I see the pressure cooker like a trusted friend who only wants to save me some valued time. So when I saw this lentil recipe in Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the preparation time of 1 hour, I was so glad I had a pressure cooker to cut the time by nearly two-thirds, borrowing a technique from the Spanish and the Lentils with Chorizo Sausage Recipe (Recipe #342592). The first thing I did was skip the step where you sauté the onion and carrots for 10 minutes. It's unnecessary, and you'll find that my method makes a soup with a smoother, more pleasant consistency by cooking the vegetables whole or halved, then removing and pureeing them afterwards. My kitchen has a surplus of brown lentils, so those are what I used. I'm going to keep the brown lentils in the recipe because I don't know if French lentils require more liquid. One thing I want to try for next time, since I used bouillon cubes, is to break them up and try to dissolve them in step 2 rather than prepare the stock ahead of time, and I plan to cut down the salt next time. I find the best way to seed plum tomatoes is to cut them in half and sweep out the seedy parts with your index finger. The soup you'll get from this is addictively delicious and filling, and you'll feel like a genius for owning a pressure cooker. -- posted by Valeria

A recipe I came up with for lentils. Makes a large pot for lots of leftovers or to feed lots of people. High-fiber, healthy. -- posted by clashcity19

Lentil and Turkey Sausage Soup

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:24:47 -0400

This is an adaptation of 2 or 3 other similar soups but is my favorite obviously. Not at all difficult to make and goes very well with low fat cornbread. -- posted by Chef Larz in Pennsboro, WV

Armenian Lentil Soup

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:05:38 -0400

From Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook. Makes a very healthy meal that's delicious! Spinach and tomatoes are added after the cooking is completed to keep their distinct green and red color, and give the soup eye appeal. I usually freeze half of this recipe to feed my family of four again later. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Lentil Soup With Vegetables and Andouille Sausage

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:35:54 -0400

Another hearty, nutritious soup recipe, loaded with protein, fiber, and flavor. It doesn't take as long as some of my other soup recipes, but is every bit as good. I created this on a cold and rainy Portland, Oregon day, and served it with warm sliced baguette. Excellent! -- posted by E. J. Hilden

Lentil Soup

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:21:40 -0400

This was my very first time using lentils and it turned out FANTASTIC (and super easy.) I just kinda threw stuff in and hoped for the best. I came pretty close. It would probably be good with a clove or two of garlic thrown in as well. -- posted by PDX Girl

Sausage and Lentil Soup

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:06:09 -0400

I found this in an old Good Housekeeping Magazine (Dec. 2005) in my Dr. waiting room. We love it and it freezes beautifully. You can sub turkey Italian sausage for the regular. Don't skimp on the fennel, it makes the dish. I also disregard the amounts of salt and pepper and just season to taste (it does need a bit more salt than stated in recipe). -- posted by Aubergine910

Chillout and warm-up to this hearty bowl of bacon, chorizo and sausage soup that would be perfect for those after game outings or sitting by the camp fire telling ghost stories. Cup your hands around the warm bowl, watch the steam add magic to the evening light. Sop it up with crusty bread when you are done. This is a perfect crock pot recipe. -- posted by Chef Ivan M

Another experiment I wanted to keep in mind. A simple recipe that results in a rich, creamy slightly sweet and surprisingly flavorful dinner. Lots of vitamin and protein goodness, good for a cold night. -- posted by LadyPoe

Egyptian Red Lentil Soup

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:30:42 -0500

This soup is considered to be a tradition for breaking the Ramadan fast in Egypt and is a traditional "Middle Eastern peace recipe". I got this from a Middle Eastern living blog and decided to share it since I was looking for red lentil recipes. Red lentils can be found in Indian and Middle Eastern grocery stores. This awesome soup is vegan and quite healthy. -- posted by the80srule

Spiced Carrot and Lentil Curry (Winter Soup)

I found this in the November 2009 issue of Alive magazine, I made this tonight and was blown away. Very tasty, very healthy and total comfort food on a cold winter night! It's fairly easy and quick to make and will make 4-6 good-sized bowls so everyone can cuddle up with one :) -- posted by Chef Kirsten (#1!)

Pasta With Lentils

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:08:31 -0500

A couple of notes about this recipe. First of all, this is a recipe for one person. I know that doesn't seem true, but the 4 coups of water boil down really fast. Secondly, I usually soak my lentils beforehand because it makes them cook quicker. Third, I put "2 oz" of pasta, because that's usually the serving size for one person for pasta... sometimes it's 1/4 of a cup, and sometimes it's more. Just go with what the box says, or whatever you feel is good for you. Also, you can do it with rice instead of pasta if you so desire! It's equally as yummy! -- posted by michelle!
