RED LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, melt the butter and extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until lightly bubbling. Add the onions, leeks, and generous sprinkling of kosher salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions and leeks are soft and translucent in color, about 10 to 15 minutes. I place the pot lid on askew, to help trap moisture and ensure the ingredients sweat, soften properly, and don't gain too much color.
• Add the carrots, celery, and garlic, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Continue seasoning the soup lightly with salt and pepper as you add the remaining ingredients. Add the lentils, crushed tomatoes, parmigiano-reggiano rinds, bay leaves, and chicken broth. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly simmer, uncovered, for about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so, or until the vegetables are tender and the lentils have cooked through and broken down quite a bit. The soup should be thick and hearty.
• Blend a small portion of the soup with an immersion blender (or transfer a large ladleful of soup to a small food processor or blender, and puree until roughly smooth). This step is optional, but creates a wonderful texture.
• Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If it tastes at all flat, feel free to add a small squeeze of lemon juice (however, I like it just as it is!). Before serving, remove and discard the bay leaves and parmigiana cheese rinds. Serve hot. Garnish with freshly grated parmigiano cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Put the stock, lentils, carrots and leek into a soup maker, and press the 'chunky soup' function. Make sure you don't fill it above the max fill line. The soup will look a little foamy to start, but don't worry - it will disappear once cooked.
• Once the cycle is complete, check the lentils are tender, and season well. Scatter over the parsley to serve.

SOUP MAKER RED LENTIL SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• For this recipe, to get more taste, lightly fry the onions before adding to the pot, however it isn't necessary, Add the lentils to the cooking pot, with the chopped onion and potatoes.
• Add the stock, either up to the maximum 1600-1800g for a Soup maker or the full 1 Litre of stock if you are cooking this in a saucepan.
• Select the smooth setting for a pureed soup, or the chunky if you prefer some bits in your lentil soup. If you plan to leave your soup chunky, chop your onions and potatoes very finely before adding them to the pot.
• Serve with hot fresh bread.

• Melt butter in a large pot, add the onions and saute until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, spices, and salt and pepper, and saute another minute to release the aromas. Stir in the tomato paste to blend with the onions, fry 1 to 2 minutes, then add the stock, bulgur and lentils. Cover and simmer until bulgur and lentils are thoroughly cooked and soup is thickened, about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
