Recipe Tips
- For added flavour,roast the peppers under the broiler until the skin is charred and peppers are tender. Peel carefully and remove seeds. Add chopped roasted peppers with lentils. Charred peppers will add a hint of smokiness to the soup.
- Add a pinch of hot pepper flakes with the other spices for a touch of heat.
- Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) 35% whipping cream after puréeing for a cream soup.
- Serve with toasted baguette that’s been topped with cheese and broiled until melted if desired.
- Red lentils are a good choice for this soup as they break down when fully cooked,adding body and thickening the soup. Green and brown lentils cannot be used interchangeably in this soup.
