Red Lentil Soup Recipe Healthy Vegan Recipes On Video
Instructions
1. You can saute the onion, garlic and ginger in oil for a more distinct flavor, or put them into boiling water for a more subtle broth. Add the cumin and pepper here if you are sauteeing, as it will infuse into the oil and be carried through the soup. If you're not sauteeing, you can add seasoning whenever you like. Pour 6 cups of water or stock into the pot (after sauteeing if you are) and add the lentils.
2. Bring the water to a boil, then leave to simmer for 10-15 min, or until the lentils are cooked. Chop the vegetables while they cook.
3. Add the vegetables and seasoning (if you haven't already) to the pot, and give them 5-15 minutes to cook, depending on how soft you want them.
4. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, take the pot off the stove and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Stir in the miso, then taste to make sure you like the seasoning, adjusting if you need to. Serve garnished with the sesame seeds - white or black seeds are nice with this soup.
