Lentil Conchiglietti Soup

 

Recipe By :Nava Atlas, Pasta East to West

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pasta

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 large onion -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- minced

2 medium carrots -- peeled and thinly sliced

2 large celery stalks -- diced

3/4 cup dried lentils -- sorted and rinsed

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

6 cups water

28 ounces canned pureed tomatoes

1/4 cup dry red wine (optional)

1 cup conchiglietti (tiny shells)

salt and black pepper

 

Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and garlic, and saute over medium-low

heat until the onion is golden.

 

Add the carrots, celery, lentils, bay leaves, seasonings, and water. Bring to a

simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the lentils and vegetables are

tender, about 40 minutes.

 

Add the pureed tomatoes and optional wine, and simmer over very low heat for 15

minutes more.

 

Meanwhile, cook the conchiglietti separately in a large saucepan with plenty of

rapidly simmering water until al dente, then drain. Stir into the soup. Adjust

the consistency with more water if needed, then season, to taste with salt and

pepper, and serve.

 

TIP: If you can't find conchiglietti, substitute ditalini or other very small

pasta shape.
