Anyone really enjoy lentil soup?? I do. Does anyone have a favourite recipe they can share?

i love lentil soup, my mum makes it and its my favorite meal.i quiet like making lentil burgers too.

sometimes i mix Lentils with rice other times i mix Lentils of different colors.. i too love Lentils and most Legumes

My favorite:

Lentil Vegetable Soup

1-2 stalks celery
3 carrots
1 large onion
3 red potatoes
1 1/2 - 2 cups green lentils
3-4 cloves garlic
3 bay leaves
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. Italian herb mix
1 bunch spinach
1 tsp. salt
7-8 cups water
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

Chop carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Heat oil in a large soup pot. Add vegetables and bay leaves. Cook on medium until vegetables are soft. Add water, herbs, and lentils. Cook on medium-high for 45 minutes, adding more water when needed.

Chop potatoes into small cubes, add to the soup and cook until soft, about 10-12 minutes. Add spinach leaves and cook 2 minutes more, just enough to wilt the leaves. Remove from heat. Stir in red wine vinegar and leave covered until ready to serve.

no super great recipies, because I don't make it very often, but yes, I DO enjoy a good lentil soup.. Very much so

I do have a "recipie" for another fun lentil dish. I call it "lentil tostatas" The vegetarian boarding school I went to served it.. it's tasty!

basically you:

1. toast bread
2. put sour cream (or vegan sour cream) on the hot toasted bread (like you're "buttering" it) place open face on a plate
3. Put hot, cooked lentils on top (well cooked, not TOO dry, but not too soupy either.. lightly seasoned if you wanted, definitely appropriately salted
4. Top with shredded lettuce, very finely diced tomatoes, shredded cheese (or vegan cheese) and pour a bit of your fav salad dressing

May sound funny, but really, it's quite yummy when you get all those flavors combined!!

Man, now I want some LOL.. GRRR @ lentils taking so long to cook! (as a single person who works 8 hours, I have to eat "fast" things LOL)
