Sun Oven Curried Lentil Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon curry powder and the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the ginger and garlic are well coated, about 1 minute.
• Add the lentils, carrots, leeks and 7 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the liquid simmers. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the lentils are tender and start breaking apart, about 25 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until wilted; season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cut the naan into 1-inch pieces. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the naan and toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Top each serving of soup with the naan croutons, a dollop of yogurt and some cilantro.

Steps:

• Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Pour 1 tablespoon oil in a dark, light-weight and heat in GSO. Chop the onion and carrots while the oil is heating. Add onion and carrots to the pot in the GSO, stir to coat; cook vegetables until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir half of the minced garlic and cook another 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in curry powder and cook for about 1 minute. Add lentils and water, put the lid on the pot and cook until the lentils are tender, about 50 minutes. While the lentils are cooking, pass the chickpeas through a food mill and mix with lemon juice, remaining tablespoon olive oil, and remaining garlic. (This step can also been done in a food processor.) Stir chickpea mixture and butter into soup, adding additional water if needed, cover and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes.
