Lentil Soup with Caramelised Onions
This lentil recipe soup is divine even if you are normally not a lover of lentils, very easy to make and so very good for you... the caramelised onions are a sweet delight to top this soup off beautifully.
- Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add to this 2 bay leaves, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery sticks, 2 diced onions and 2 minced garlic cloves...fry this off for a few minutes stirring continuously until the onion is soft and golden.
- Next add a 1 large diced tomato, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 cup of red lentils that have been washed and 1 litre of chicken stock... cook for about 40 minutes until the lentils are cooked through completely.
- Meanwhile throw 2 sliced red onions into a frying pan with a pinch of salt and soften until they glisten adding a dash of balsamic and the same of maple syrup to enhance the sweetness of the onions.
- Blend the soup with a stick blender until the desired texture is reached and serve the soup hot with a dollop of the warmed onions on top...
