Light Lentil Soup With Smoked Trout image

This is inspired by a traditional French combination of lentils and fresh salmon. I decided to make something a little simpler: a very basic lentil soup garnished with smoked trout, either canned or packaged. I use the Parmesan rind in the bouquet garni to add some umami flavor to the lentils, which would traditionally be paired with sausage or cured pork.

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (6 ounces) lentils, rinsed
1 onion, cut in half
2 garlic cloves, minced
A bouquet garni made with a Parmesan rind, a bay leaf and a sprig of parsley

4 ounces smoked trout, drained and rinsed if canned
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • Combine the lentils, onion, garlic, bouquet garni, water, and salt to taste in a soup pot or a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Add pepper, taste and adjust salt. Remove the onion halves and bouquet garni and discard. Stir in the parsley.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out terrible. The lentils were overcooked and the smoked trout was too salty.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.
