Lentil
- Carrot Soup
2 cups lentils(any)
1 1/2 - 2 cups carrots, chopped fine
1 1/2 cups white or yellow onion, chopped fine
1 cup celery, chopped fine ,
Salt and pepper to taste
Wash
the lentils well, and check them for dirtc. Combinethe lentils and
the vegetables in a big pot with about 4 cups of water(that's an
estimate, use a little more if that doesn't seem like enough,but
try not to use *too much*). Bring this to a boil, and then let itsimmer
until it has cooked down some and your lentils are soft.
Then
take the soup a cupful at a time and blend it in your blender untilit
is smooth (you will need a second pot to transfer it into after
blending it). The soup should be fairly thick by now, and bring
it to a boil once again, and then let it simmer another fifteen
or twenty minutes.Last but not least, add 1 whole teaspoon of pepper,
a teaspoon of salt,and a couple of pinches of cayenne pepper and
serve hot.
