THREE-BEAN LENTIL SOUP



Three-Bean Lentil Soup image

An easy, hearty soup made from items found in the pantry. It can be made in the crock pot also by combining all of the ingredients, except for the oil, and cooking on low for 8 hours but I like it better made on top of the stove. Sauteing the onions and garlic gives the soup a whole different flavour which doesn't come across in the crock pot version.

LENTIL SOUP III



Lentil Soup III image

As a busy college student, I don't have much time to eat, let alone cook. I've been making this soup for myself my whole college career, since it's a soup my mom made when I was growing up. This soup is illegally easy and incredibly good for you. Eat it up! You can add sliced, shredded, or diced cooked chicken to the soup when it is almost ready. This soup is delicious, but it can be a surprisingly dull color. You can make it more attractive by serving it with a thin slice of lemon on top and a sprinkle of chopped parsley or chives.

THREE-BEAN SOUP



Three-Bean Soup image

For those transitional chilly spring days when it's still brisk enough to merit a bowl of soup, this is your answer. It's a lighter, brighter stew that leans more on fresh beans than it does the dried ones. Just keep in mind you have to soak the lima beans overnight.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Leek     Garlic     Bacon     Fennel     Celery     Thyme     Lima Bean     Bean     Sugar Snap Pea     Dill     Lemon     Parmesan     Bread

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 medium leeks, dark green parts removed
1 head of garlic, cloves separated
3 oz. bacon, chopped
2 Tbsp. plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 small fennel bulbs, finely chopped, fronds reserved
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp. plus 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 cup dried large lima beans, soaked overnight
3/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
8 oz. Romano beans, cut into 1" pieces
8 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed, halved crosswise
1/2 small bunch dill
1 lemon
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 oz. Parmesan, shaved
Toasted crusty bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Quarter leeks lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces. Rinse leeks in a fine-mesh strainer and pat dry with paper towels. Smash garlic cloves with the flat side of a chef's knife and peel; set 2 cloves aside.
  • Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and starting to crisp, 8-10 minutes. Add smashed garlic and 2 Tbsp. oil and cook, stirring often, until garlic is just beginning to turn golden 3-4 minutes. Add leeks, chopped fennel, celery, thyme, bay leaf, and 1 Tbsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add lima beans, red pepper flakes, and 6 cups water and bring to a simmer. Partially cover pot, reduce heat to low, and gently simmer, occasionally skimming and discarding any foam that rises to the surface, until beans are slightly crunchy but not quite creamy, 25 minutes. Add Romano beans and snap peas, return to a simmer, and continue to cook, adding just enough water to keep beans submerged, until dried beans are creamy and fresh beans are just cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, pulse dill, zest of whole lemon, fennel fronds, and 1 reserved garlic clove in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, stream in 1/2 cup oil. Add 3/4 tsp. salt and squeeze in 2 tsp. lemon juice. Transfer pesto to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Remove stew from heat and stir in crème fraîche, black pepper, and 4 tsp. lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Rub bread with remaining garlic clove, drizzle with oil, and season lightly with salt.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with pesto, then top with shaved Parmesan. Serve with garlic bread and remaining pesto alongside.

Tips:

  • Soak the lentils and beans overnight: This helps to soften them and reduce cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans and lentils: This gives the soup a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many beans and lentils, they won't cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will add a lot of flavor to the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings: This could include croutons, cheese, sour cream, or chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Three-bean lentil soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a quick weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give three-bean lentil soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
