Moosewood Broccoli Soup Recipes

MOOSEWOOD LENTIL SOUP RECIPE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Place lentils and water in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, and let cook until lentils are mushy (about 45 minutes). Add more water as needed, until the soup is your favorite consistency. Heat oil or melt butter in a medium-sized skillet. Add onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, and sauté about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to lentils. Stir in wine, if desired, lemon juice and molasses or brown sugar. Taste to correct seasonings, then simmer for at least 15 minutes longer. Serve hot, with a little vinegar drizzled onto each serving, and a sprinkling of minced scallions or parsley on top, if desired.
