Lentil And Noodle Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Remove 1 tablespoon of the flavored oil and set aside. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Add the chicken broth, 4 cups water and the cheese rind, if using. Bring to a boil, then add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add the lentils along with the liquid from one of the cans; reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the pasta is tender, 10 to 12 more minutes. Meanwhile, whisk 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 tablespoon water into the reserved flavored oil. Stir 1/4 cup parmesan and the remaining parsley into the soup; remove the cheese rind (if using) and add salt to taste. Ladle into bowls; drizzle with the flavored oil and top with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Serve with bread, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large stock pot add the oil, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally around 15 minutes or until the onions start to get translucent.
• Then add in the dried basil, Italian Seasoning, Salt, Pepper and tomatoes. Stir well and cook another 2 minutes.
• Then add in the water, chicken bouillon cubes, Lentils and vinegar. Cook until lentils are almost tender.
• Then add in the pasta stir and cook until pasta is tender.
• Simmer until ready to eat.
• Serve in bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion, celery and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are starting to caramelize and take on a dark brown color, 8 to 10 minutes (this step is important as it will add tons of flavor to your soup!).
• Stir in the tomato paste and garlic and cook, scraping up the brown bits, until the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the lentils, stock, 4 cups water, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the lentils are softened with just a bit of bite, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf. Puree 2 1/2 cups of the soup in a blender until smooth then stir back into the pot. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Ladle into bowls and garnish with more parsley.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter and add onion, carrots, and celery. Saute for 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir, and hit cancel.
• Add broth, chicken, lentils, parsley, paprika, dill, and thyme. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the quick release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Turn the pot off and remove the lid. Stir in noodles and lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes or until noodles are cooked. Ladle into bowls and salt and pepper to taste.
