27848 Lentil Soup Serves 8 Thu Oct 22 11:30:00 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 15:21:52 -0800 2009 American Licensed http://www.chow.com/recipes/27848 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:21:52 GMT Hearty and satisfying Hearty and satisfying. There’s nothing like a pot of lentil soup that’s been simmering all day. If you have a hearty appetite, serve this over basmati rice—a great combination—or add some steamed kale or collards for a well-balanced and satisfying meal.

  • Place kombu in bowl with enough water to cover and soak 10 minutes or until soft. Drain, mince and set aside. In large soup pot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until soft (about 3 minutes). Add celery, carrots, tomatoes and red wine. Rinse lentils and add to pot along with water or stock. Add vinegar, syrup, molasses, tamari, kombu, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir, bring to boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer 2 hours. Adjust seasonings and serve.

    • Variation

    For a richer, more decadent soup, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder along with molasses.
