Vegan Red Lentil Soup Gluten Free Easy To Make Food

VEGAN RED LENTIL SOUP (GLUTEN-FREE + EASY TO MAKE)

Steps:

• In a soup pot, heat the avocado or olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
• Add the garlic, grated ginger, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, ginger powder, and salt, and stir to combine and coat all the veggies in the spices.
• Let cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant, and then add the vegetable broth, water, tomatoes, and red lentils. Stir and bring to a boil, then turn down and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the red lentils are soft. Taste, and add more salt to your tastes if desired.
• If desired, puree half the soup to help make it creamier. You can also just leave it as is if you prefer a more broth-y soup. I pureed some of mine with an immersion blender.
• Stir in your greens and let them wilt, and then add in lemon juice and zest. Serve with more lemon if desired (I recommend), and garnish with some microgreens!

Steps:

• In a large pot, add the oil, onion, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt, stir, and sauté over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion softens.
• Stir in the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, and cardamom until combined. Continue cooking for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), entire can of coconut milk, red lentils, broth, salt, and plenty of pepper. Add red pepper flakes or cayenne, if desired, to taste. Stir to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a low boil.
• Once it boils, reduce the heat to medium-high, and simmer, uncovered, for about 18 to 22 minutes, until the lentils are fluffy and tender.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach until wilted. Add the lime juice to taste. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Ladle into bowls and serve with toasted bread and lime wedges.

VEGAN RED LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Start by rinsing the red lentils well. They can be soaked and then rinsed if you are especially sensitive to lentils.
• In a large saucepan on medium heat, add the olive oil.
• Next, add in the onion and carrot. Cook for about 3-4minutes or until soft.
• Now add in the bay leaves, and Italian spice blend. Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add in minced garlic and cook for another 30seconds.
• Next, add in broth, water, red lentils, tomato paste and chili flakes. Bring the soup to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning.
• Once the 15 minutes is up, scoop out 2 cups of the soup and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth, and add the blended portion back into the pot with the remainder of the soup. Mix well.
• If you have spinach or kale to add into the soup, add into the pot and simmer until it softens. About 5 minutes. If using kale, massage with a little olive oil first to remove the bitterness.
• Now serve into a bowl, add your toppings and enjoy!
