Tip

You could also use brown lentils but these need to be soaked overnight.

I like to use chicken broth in this for extra nutritional omph especially in winter!

  • Lovely thanks Substituted potato for sweet potato...

    Submitted by bjajun on 15. June 2017 - 13:01.

    Lovely thanks. Substituted potato for sweet potato, kale for spinach leaves, and added in a head of broccoli (including stalk) as had it in the fridge. Used 2 lemons which had a lovely flavour. I did steps 6 & 7 first, and placed them in a bowl while waiting for the soup to cook. I like a smoother texture of soups so I blended it for ~30 seconds speed 7 (after cooling to ~70 degrees) before I added in the reserved kale & lemon, then stirred on reverse speed 4 for another 10 seconds to combine them. Oh, and I didn't soak the red lentils first as I only thought to cook this when I was hungry Big Smile

  • Delicious!  I used a bit less

    Delicious!  I used a bit less lemon though, and baby spinach (as easier to buy small amounts).  Family loved it.

    Great flavour!  I used sweet potato instead of potato.  Very delicious and hearty on a cold winters day!
