Ramsays Spicy Lentil Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the onion and garlic until golden.
• Stir in the spices and tomato puree and fry for two minutes.
• Add lentils and stock.
• Simmer for 25 - 30 mins, or until cooked.
• Puree a little bit if you want.

Steps:

• Wash and pick over lentils. Cover with water and leave to soak for 15 minutes.
• While lentils are soaking, prepare other ingredients for use.
• When everything is ready, drain lentils and set aside.
• Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger until onion is translucent.
• Stir in turmeric, cumin and chili powder, and sauté for about 1 minute.
• Add lentils, zucchini, carrot, vegetable stock, salt and pepper (if needed). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes (until vegetables are almost tender). Spoon off scum as needed.
• Add linguine pieces and simmer another 10-15 minutes (until pasta is al dente). I used only 1 ounce of linguine, but you could use more to add body to the soup.
• To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro and a dollop of cream, sour cream or Neufchatel cheese.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in carrot and celery; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 8 more minutes.
• Stir in tomato paste, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper; mix in chicken stock and lentils.
• Bring soup to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until lentils are soft, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the lentils, wheat berries, chickpeas, and 2 quarts of water in a large pot.
• Cover, bring to a boil, and skim carefully.
• Add the vegetables, tomato paste, and hot peppers.
• Cook, covered, for 1 hour.
• Add the salt and cook 30 minutes longer, or until the chickpeas are fully cooked. Serves 6.
