Vegan Red Lentil, Chickpea & Coriander Soup

December 5, 2010 by Zizi

Before Christmas I like cooking easy recipes so I have more time for recipe developing, preparing the menu and wrapping the presents. I found this soup recipe on BBC Good Food (I did a bit of changing) – with its colour it cheers you up on dark, cold winter evenings.

Ingredients (serves 4)

– 3/4 cup red lentil
– 400 g (1 can) chickpeas, strained
– 400 g (1 can) tomatoes, whole, peeled
– 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
– 1/2 teaspoon fresh chili, chopped
– 1 red onion, chopped
– 1 lemon’s  freshly squeezed juice
– 2 cup water
– small bunch of fresh coriander, roughly chopped (save a few leaves to serve)
– salt, pepper
– olive oil

Method

Heat a saucepan and dry fry the cumin seeds for 1-2 minutes, until they start to jump around the pan 🙂 and you can smell the aroma. Then add olive oil, red onion, chilli and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the lentils, tomatoes and water, bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper,simmer until the lentils have softened. With a hand mixer/blender puree the soup. Then add the lemon juice and chickpeas. Heat gently for a couple of minutes, sprinkle with the coriander and serve it.
