Spicy Red Lentil Soup

Source of Recipe

My own


Recipe Introduction

This is my own version of a favorite Wegmans' recipe. When I requested this delicious soup recipe I was told it was their own specialty. My version is just as good.

List of Ingredients

1 large onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
2 Jalepeno peppers chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
1 can chicken broth
2 Tbsp hungarian paprika
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp coriander, or plenty of fresh chopped cilantro
1 tsp. garam masala
2 fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 can tomato paste
sour cream
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or to taste
1 tsp. salt
package red lentils (washed)


Recipe

Saute onion and garlic in small amount of olive oil. Add chicken broth, lentils and cover with water. Add remainder of ingredients except tomatoes. Simmer and adjust water as necessary so soup is a thick consistency. I simmer at least an hour. Add fresh tomatoes toward end of cooking time. Adjust seasonings to your taste. Just before serving stir in a Tbsp. sour cream to each bowl. Freezes well.
