The original Greek recipe is rich, lemony, and satisfying but so is this version with fresh lemons, cashew cream, and hearty red lentils.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons unsalted raw cashews
1 ½ cups chopped spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Grease a saucepan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Saute carrots, celery, and coriander until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and red lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.
  • Blend lemon juice and cashews together in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir the cashew cream, spinach, and parsley in with the lentils. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together. I'm disappointed.

This soup was a waste of time. It was bland and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly and it still turned out terrible.

I didn't like this soup at all. It was too sour and the lentils were undercooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This soup was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it could have used a little more flavor.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a good soup. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were all very fresh.
