INDIAN RED LENTIL SOUP
Steps:
- SERVES 6 ~ Pick over the red lentils and discard any misshapen lentils or stones. Rinse the lentils and drain. ~ In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, 8-10 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne and stir to mix well. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, to release the flavors of the spices, 2-3 minutes. Add the lentils and then gradually add the water or stock, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer until the lentils are very soft, 30-45 minutes. ~ Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor. Return the soup to a clean saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir in the tomatoes and lemon juice and cook until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper. ~ To serve, ladle into warmed bowls and sprinkle with the mint or cilantro.
