Spicy Red Lentil & Tomato Soup

 

 

olive oil spray

1 large onion, chopped

3 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp crushed garlic, optional

1 to 2 tsp chopped chilli, plus extra to serve

2 large gourmet tomatoes, chopped

1 cup cooked red lentils

soy cream, to serve

coriander (cilantro) leaves, to serve

 

 

1. Heat a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Spray the base

with a little olive oil and add onion. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes or

until the onion is lightly browned.

 

2. Add the cumin, garlic and chilli and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add

the tomatoes and the red lentils. Stir to combine.

 

3. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, stirring often so the

lentils don't stick to the base of the pan. Reduce the heat to low,

and simmer uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the lentils are

soft. Ladle into serving bowls. Drizzle with extra chilli and soy

cream. Serve immediately with coriander (cilantro) leaves on the side.

 

 

Serves 4.
