Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion (small diced)
2 carrots (small diced)
2 celery stalks (small diced)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper (to taste)
28 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes
6 cups vegetable broth or water
1 cup green or brown lentils
3 leaves kale (stemmed and sliced)
1 lemon (juiced)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot until it shimmers. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and stir for 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the tomato paste, minced garlic, dried spices, salt and pepper. Stir and toast the spices for 2 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, broth, and lentils and stir together. Bring that to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, partially cover with a lid, and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
  • You can keep the soup chunky, or use an immersion blender to create a more creamy texture, by spot blending for just a few seconds.
  • Stir in the kale and lemon juice, and simmer for an additional minute or two to soften the kale. Taste the soup, and add any additional lemon juice, salt, or pepper before serving.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 red bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 yellow bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 orange bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 large carrots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
4 canned roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and diced

4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup lentils
2 bay leaves
¾ teaspoon salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chile oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element in your oven and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange red bell pepper halves, yellow bell pepper halves, and orange bell pepper halves onto prepared baking sheet with cut sides down.
  • Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Steam as they cool until the skin has loosened completely, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Cut peppers into small dice.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and carrot in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, tarragon, thyme, and paprika; continue to cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir roasted peppers, tomatoes, water, and hot sauce into the peppers mixture, place a cover on the pot, and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour vegetable broth into the pot; add lentils, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Pour soup into a blender or food processor no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse several time to get the soup to be only slightly chunky. Repeat processing until all soup has been blended.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of lentils. This will give the soup a more complex flavor and texture. Lentils also provide plenty of plant-based protein and fiber.
  • Roast the vegetables. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables and gives them a slightly caramelized flavor. This adds a lot of depth to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, and basil can really brighten up the flavor of the soup. Add them at the end of cooking so that they retain their flavor.

Conclusion:

This lentil soup with roasted vegetables is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
