Red Lentil Chili Soup
Ingredients:
* 2 Potatoes, peeled, chopped into lg. pieces
* 1 Onion, peeled, chopped lg. pieces
* 5 Carrots, peeled , chopped into chunks
* 1 red Pepper, med., seeded and chopped
* 1 green Pepper, med. seeded and chopped
* 1 cup Red Lentils, rinsed
* 1 cup Organic Baby Spinach
* 1 green pepper (hot), chopped
* 1 teaspoon of coriander, dry
* 1/2 teaspoon of curry
* Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook Lentils in a large sauce pan with 3 cups of water. Stirring occasionally, cook until soft and done. Set aside. (This should be less than 20 min.)
While the lentils are cooking, in a separate large pot, add in the potatoes, onion, hot pepper, carrots and coriander powder. Cover with water and bring to boil. Simmer until almost tender, approximately 10-15 min.
Add in the red and green peppers and cook an additional 5-8 min. until peppers are soft, and vegetables are cooked. Let cool a little while. Add spinach and stir.
Add in the lentils and season with salt and pepper and curry seasoning.
Note: The original recipe suggested: Puree all the vegetables(not the lentils) in some of the cooking liquid in batches in a food processor. Add as much cooking liquid to form a soup. Add the puree to the Lentils which have been cooked, draining some of the lentil water if needed. Add chili powder and MatoZest. Stir and reheat.
