Red Lentil Vegetable Soup image

A mild and sweet vegetable soup made more filling with red lentils and rutabagas. If you don't like rutabagas, potatoes could be substituted, but the rutabagas do add a special spicy sweetness. Use a good vegetable boullion for this (I like Rapunzel) because its flavor will dominate the dish.

Categories     Lentil

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 vegetable bouillon cubes, enough to make 4 c stock
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
2 rutabagas, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 carrots, chopped
3 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 cup red lentil
1 red pepper
1/2 head green cabbage, chopped
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine vegetable boullion, herbs and spices, and about 6 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
  • Add rutabagas, onion, garlic, carrots, and dried mushrooms. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add lentils and red pepper. Simmer for 15 more minutes. Add more water, if needed, to cover vegetables.
  • Add cabbage and simmer 10 more minutes, or until cabbage is done. To prevent a cooked cabbage flavor, do not cover the soup.
  • Remove dried mushrooms. Discard woody stems and dice caps. Return diced caps to pot.
  • Taste for seasoning and add additional salt if needed. My boullion is salty enough that usually no additional salt is needed.
  • Note: Red lentils cook quickly and I prefer them cooked to a "falling-apart" doneness. If you like firmer lentils, add in the last 15 minutes of cooking, or cook lentils separately and add to the finished soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I like to add a cup or two of shredded chicken or turkey to the soup. It makes it even more hearty and satisfying.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also really filling and satisfying. I like to top my soup with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. It's the perfect comfort food.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and then turned it on low. When I came home from work, dinner was ready. It was so easy and convenient.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes. It's also a good source of protein and fiber. I like to serve this soup with a side of whole-wheat bread or crackers.
