01 Step

Recipe View Rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold water. Place the lentils into a stockpot or a Dutch oven and add water to twice the depth of the lentils. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse lentils; return them to the pot. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Add onion, celery, cabbage, tomatoes, chicken broth, carrots and garlic to the pot and season with salt, pepper, sugar, basil, thyme and curry. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (90-120 minutes)

For a richer flavor, sauté the onions, celery, and carrots in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding them to the pot.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach.
For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.
Grated parmesan cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or a swirl of pesto make excellent toppings.

    The curry powder adds a nice depth of flavor. I also added a bay leaf while it simmered.

    I doubled the recipe and froze half for later. It reheats beautifully!

    Instead of sugar, I added a teaspoon of maple syrup. It was a subtle but delicious addition!

    I used vegetable broth to make it vegetarian and it was still delicious.
