Spiced Lentil Soup - Gordon Ramsey (ish)
A warming and satisfying lentil soup. A slight variation on one of Gordon Ramsey's recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 onion (large, chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- 320 g red lentils
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1.5 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- cilantro (coriander) leaves (to serve)
- Greek style soy yoghurt
- black pepper
- chilli flakes/powder/fresh chilli
Instructions
- Add the oil to a pot on the hob and place on a medium hight heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for around 5 minutes until they are soft and start to go golden/brown.
- Add all the ground spices and tomato puree to the pot and cook for another minute stirring everything in.
- Rinse the lentils in cold water and drain. Prepare the vegetable stock. Add both to the pot.
- Bring the pot to a boil and then turn down to a gentle simmer. Cook on a gentle simmer for around 20-25 minutes stirring regularly.
- To create more smooth consistency, take a hand blender and blend the soup until partially blended but not fully blended. You can also achieve this by removing half the soup, adding to a blender, blending and then adding back to the pot.
- Serve the soup in bowls. Add some black pepper, soy yoghurt, fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves and some chilli if you like a little heat.
