Totally just made this up this morning, when I remembered that I'd promised a "good" lentil soup to Cheryl, a co-worker of mine at Temple Beth Am (she had an atrocious soup in a can and swore that good lentil soup did not exist).
Fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, and 5 hours in a crock pot later, I've changed her mind.
Of course.
Here’s the recipe. It’s a bit on the spicy side for some (although perfect for me, and I’m sure Tony would add pepper to it), so it may take some adjustment to suit you.
Wonderful on a cold day or if you have a cold.
Wim’s Yummi Lentil Soup
1 lb lentils rinsed and drained
8 C water
4 medium carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
½ bunch of celery (cut off the top and bottom and use the rest)
fresh cut ginger (to taste)
2 tbsp celery salt (to taste – depending on how salty you like it)
2 tsp red curry paste
2 tsp fresh cracked peppercorn
Add all ingredients to crock pot. Cook for approximately 4-5 hours. Do NOT blend lentils (it changes the texture, I like mine chunky. If you like it smooth, blend away.)
