Creamy Red Lentil Soup

 

3 carrots, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

2 Tablespoons oil

1-1/2 cups red lentils

4 cups water (I use vegi broth)

1 Tablespoon marjoram

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup water

Slices of lemon

cilantro sprigs

I add one pressed garlic clove

I add one celery stalk chopped

 

Saute carrots, celery, garlic and onion in oil over

medium-heat until onions are clear.

Add remaining ingredients (except 1 cup water and

lemon slices) and

bring to a boil. Lower heat, but continue cooking over

medium-high heat

for 20 minutes.

 

Pour mixture into a blender. Blend until creamy.

Return mixture to a pot

and add 1 cup of water. Reheat for a few minutes,

until hot.

Serve soup garnished with lemon slices or cilantro sprigs.
