Lentil Tomato Soup
Contributed by: Melinda
*Sumac is a middle eastern spice that is available online. It is red and used as a condiment in many dishes. It is sour so if you don't want to add this to your spice box, put about 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice into each soup bowl when you serve.
1 cup puy lentils (green french lentils)
6 cups low fat, low sodium broth
15 oz. tomato sauce (no sugar such as Muir Glen)
Olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp spanish sweet paprika
fresh coriander, stems minced and leaves coarsely chopped
*Sumac and non-fat, plain greek yogurt for garnish
- Rinse lentils, add to broth and heat to boiling
- Reduce heat and simmer until lentils are just tender - 20-30 minutes
- Meanwhile, sauté onion over medium low heat until softened
- Add spices to onion and continue to cook over low heat for several minutes
- Add garlic to onion/spice mixture and heat until very fragrant
- Remove from heat and set aside
- When lentils are just tender, add tomato sauce, cilantro and onion mixture
- Increase heat to medium and allow to cook about 10 minutes for flavors to incorporate
- Turn off heat and allow to cool slightly before serving
- Garnish with a tablespoon of yogurt and sprinkled sumac (or optional lemon juice)
