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
1 tablespoon water
1 ½ teaspoons hot sauce, or to taste
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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 chile pepper, chopped

1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried basil
¼ cup sour cream, for topping
2 sprigs fresh basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Lightly brown the onions in the oil. Add the tomatoes, chili pepper, lentils, cumin and basil to the pan along with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality lentils. Fresh, unblemished lentils will cook evenly and have a pleasant texture. Avoid lentils that are cracked or discolored.
  • Rinse the lentils before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris and help the lentils cook more evenly.
  • 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 variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor. Some good options include cilantro, parsley, and basil.

Conclusion:

This lightly spiced lentil, red pepper, and tomato soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
