Yes, you guessed it, we like lentils in this family. It is a good source of fibers and non-animal protein. And they are quite cheap too, which helps when you are trying to live GF on a budget. This soup is just perfect for the winter time or any chilly day during the year. This makes 2 Portion
1 cup of Lentils (any colour, see note if you are using red ones)
2 cups water
1 tsp vegetable bullion powder (GF)
1 tbs oil
1 tomato, diced
1 small onion, chopped
4 stalks celery – chopped, (you can use the leaves, I am not a big fan of them, so I don't)
1 tsp curry powder
6 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper
Bring lentils and water to boil. Let it simmer.
In the meantime, fry onion in oil until glassy, add celery. Add vegetables after about 10 minutes. Cover and let simmer for about 45 minutes or until lentils are cooked through. Check every 15 minutes to stir, add water as needed.
Add bullion powder, curry and garlic during the last 15 minutes.
When the lentils are cooked through season with salt and pepper.
Note: When using red lentils cooking time is considerably reduced. You should add all ingredients when the water has boiled.
You should never add salt to uncooked lentils (except red) and beans as it prevents the lentils/beans from cooking. Alway add right at the end.
