RED LENTIL SOUP WITH LEMON



Red Lentil Soup With Lemon image

This is a lentil soup that defies expectations of what lentil soup can be. Based on a Turkish lentil soup, mercimek corbasi, it is light, spicy and a bold red color (no murky brown here): a revelatory dish that takes less than an hour to make. The cooking is painless. Sauté onion and garlic in oil, then stir in tomato paste, cumin and chile powder and cook a few minutes more to intensify flavor. Add broth, water, red lentils (which cook faster than their green or black counterparts) and diced carrot, and simmer for 30 minutes. Purée half the mixture and return it to the pot for a soup that strikes the balance between chunky and pleasingly smooth. A hit of lemon juice adds an up note that offsets the deep cumin and chile flavors.

¼ cup rice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika

ANGRY RED LENTIL TORTILLA SOUP



Angry Red Lentil Tortilla Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (6-inch) flour tortillas
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced carrot
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 habanero pepper, minced
1/2 cup red lentils
2 cups water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dry chives, for garnish
6 tablespoons grated Manchego cheese, for garnish
2 lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Campsite Instructions:
  • Leave tortillas out a few days at room temperature, or on the trail, to allow them to dry out and become crispy.
  • Place cooking vessel on camp stove over medium to medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Add onion, carrot, garlic, and habanero, cook until onions are caramelized. Add red lentils and toast for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the water and cover the pot with a lid or camp plate. (I never bring a lid for a camp stove, a plate works great and then it's nice and hot to put your food on and saves weight.)
  • Simmer the soup until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the lentils from sticking.
  • Mash the soup with a fork or wooden spoon against the sides of the pot, breaking up some of the lentils to thicken the soup. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Rip up the tortillas and place in the bottom of 2 serving bowls or cups. Ladle soup over the tortillas and garnish with chives, cheese and lime wedges.

i just kinda threw in what i had and thought would taste good together. i recently tried making saag and learned i really like the ginger/garlic combo. i'm a little of this, a little of that kind of gal so i've guesstimated some of the amounts. i used significantly more paprika and cayenne and almost burned my face off it was so spicy so i way toned those down. obviously adjust according to how spicy you like things.
