Rice And Lentil Soup In A Jar Recipes

RICE AND LENTIL SOUP OR STEW

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot heat oil.
• Add celery, carrots, onions, and garlic sauté till slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Mix in spices and bay leaf.
• Add water, scraping the brown goodness from the bottom of the pot.
• Add ham bone, tomatoes and chipotle; bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 hour.
• Add lentils; cook for 15 minutes and then add rice. Cook for 30 more minutes.
• You can thin if you like with liquid either chicken stock of water. Water would be just fine because there is plenty of flavor.

LENTIL AND BROWN RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine broth, 3 cups water, lentils, rice, tomatoes with reserved juice, carrots, onion, celery, herbs and sausage and bring to boil (do not add parsley and vinegar).
• Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 45-55 minutes, or until lentils and rice are tender.
• Stir in parsley and vinegar and season to taste.
• Freezer Note: I often make up a double batch of this delicious soup, freezing half the batch, to provide me with a quick, nutritious dinner further on down the line when time is short and you don't want to resort to ordering in. Just defrost in microwave, reheat well and serve
