Lentil, Pasta & Vegetable Soup image

This does take a bit of effort but it is worth it. I use my food processor to chop the veggies and always double or triple this recipe because everyone wants seconds and thirds!

Categories     Lentil

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
350 g carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
225 g red lentils
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3 cups boiling water
1 cup pasta
2/3 cup plain yogurt
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan and gently fry the prepared onion, garlic, carrot and celery, stirring gently, for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the lentils, stock and boiling water. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir and bring back to the boil.
  • Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes until the lentils are completely tender.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring another saucepan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Drain well and set aside.
  • Place the soup in a blender and process until smooth. Return to a saucepan and add the pasta.
  • Bring back to a simmer and heat for 2-3 minutes until piping hot. Remove from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Season if necessary.
  • Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley. We also add a sprinkle of brewers yeast.
  • Tip: Avoid boiling the soup once the yogurt has been added. Otherwise, it will separate and become watery, spoiling the appearance of the soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the soup and it turned out great!
