Sweet Potato & Red Lentil Soup
So, I
know Punxsutawney Phil here in Pa saw his shadow again this year, and although
Spring is really coming soon, I still hate the 30-degree weather we have been
having here this week. So out comes the pot for some warm inviting soup!!! I
hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
Prep: 10
mins, Cook: 25mins
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, peeled and
chopped
1 medium sweet potato, peeled
and chopped
3 carrots, peeled and roughly
chopped
3 sticks of celery, trimmed and
roughly chopped
50 grams dry red lentils
4 cups vegetable stock
Instructions
1. Add the oil to a preheated
pan over a medium heat, add the onion and sauté for 10 minutes without browning.
2. Add the sweet potato,
carrot, celery and lentils and coat in the oil.
3. Toss so they are well coated
and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the stock and season
with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook for 25 minutes or until
the lentils are soft and the sweet potato is tender.
6. Puree until everything is
smooth. Reheat if need be and serve.
This is a hearty filling soup
and warms you right up. Serve with some toasted bread or bread cubes with a
side salad. Yum.
