This is another version of lentil soup that we really like. The recipe comes from cookbook author, Bonnie Stern.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices bacon
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin (I use less)
1 pinch hot red chili pepper flakes (I use a pinch of chipotle powder)
1 1/2 cups red lentils, rinsed & picked over
6 cups chicken stock
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • In a soup pot, cook the bacon crisp. Remove, crumble & set aside for garnish.
  • Add the onions & garlic, cooking until slightly soft and fragrant (3-5 minutes). Add the cumin & chili flakes, cooking for 30 seconds. Stir in the lentils. Add stock & bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer until lentils soften and soup starts to thicken (25-30 minutes).
  • Add salt & pepper. You may need to add a bit of extra stock or water, at this point, to thin out the soup if it's needed.
  • Serve garnished with fresh parsley & crumbled bacon if desired.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I may have added too much water.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this soup was really good. The smokiness from the paprika and cumin really made the dish.

This soup is amazing! It's so flavorful and filling. I love the smokiness from the paprika and cumin. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.
