Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients
1 pound French green lentils
4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 large onions)
4 cups chopped leeks, white part only (2 leeks) (*** I substituted red & yellow onions)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1/4 cup good olive oil, plus additional for drizzling on top
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups medium-diced celery (8 stalks) (*** I left this out)
3 cups medium-diced carrots (4 to 6 carrots)
3 quarts chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons red wine or red wine vinegar
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (*** mostly I forgot this)

Steps:

  • Directions In a large bowl, cover the lentils with boiling water and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drain. In a large stockpot on medium heat, saute the onions, leeks, and garlic with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are translucent and very tender. Add the celery and carrots and saute for 10 more minutes. Add the chicken stock, tomato paste, and lentils. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, until the lentils are cooked through. Check the seasonings. Add the red wine and serve hot, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with grated Parmesan.

This soup was a disaster. The lentils were undercooked and the vegetables were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out way too salty. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the lentils were a bit too mushy for my taste.

Just tried this recipe and it's a keeper! The soup was flavorful and satisfying. I made a few minor changes, such as using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and adding a bit of chopped cilantro at the end. Highly recommend!
