Carrot Lentil Soup

Carrot Lentil Soup

(Darlene's notes: March 2004 Amazing and spicy...even Jay and Randy liked it =). <--- that would be good enough for me!!! 1tbsp canola oil 3 carrots sliced 2 onions chopped 2 cloves garlic 1 tbsp minced gingerroot
1 tsp ground cumin (another spice I haven't heard of...how many of these things are there???)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
6 cups vegetable stock
3/4 cup red lentils

  • In a large saucepan heat oil over med heat; cook carrots, onions, garlic, ginger, cumin, salt and pepper, stirring often, until onions are softened. (maybe 5 minutes)
  • Add stock and lentils; bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until carrots and lentils are tender (maybe 15-20 minutes)
  • In batches transfer lentil mixture to blender or food processor, puree until smooth. Return to pan and heat through.
