The weather is a
bit hot for eating a soup, I admit it, but I'm still going to post
this recipe today. This is a perfectly good and tasty vegan soup and
can be enjoyed anytime.
Follow these
simple steps to make this soup.
Ingredients
4 carrots
1 cup red lentils
6 small potatoes
(seasonal new potatoes are brilliant to be used at the moment)
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
500ml vegetable
stock
Fresh parsley
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Wash and peel the
potatoes and quarter them or slice them into small pieces. Also wash
and slice the carrots and chop the onion and garlic. Prepare the
vegetable stock. You can make your own, use a ready made vegetable
stock or mix one with vegetable stock powder. I find that the powder
version is quite convenient as I often need vegetable stock and
that's long lasting and easy to make.
Heat some olive
oil in a saucepan and gently fry the potatoes and carrots. Then add
the onions and finally the garlic. After these are glazed, make a
vegetable stock addition. Pour in about the third of your stock and
let it all simmer for a while. Stir occasionally and add more
vegetable stock if needed.
After these
ingredients have simmered for about 10 minutes, rinse the red lentils
and add them to the saucepan along some more vegetable stock. Then
let the soup simmer until the lentils, potatoes and carrots are
cooked soft and season it with fresh parsley, salt and pepper. Puree
the soup and serve it hot.
Enjoy now or save
the recipe for the autumn!

This reminds me a lot of a childhood soup that my mother would make. Only, instead of using lentils she used rice and she would add albondigas (meat balls).
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about posting hot food recipes during the summer. I recently did one too but they can definitely be made during the evening when the weather has cooled. :)
Your recipe looks like something I'd love to eat at night while watching a good movie.

I love soups so much so I simply have to eat them in the summer as well. :) I'm glad that there are other people too who appreciate good veggie soups. :)
