I've been craving my homemade vegetable soup for quite a while, and I didn't have much patience to wait. An easy shortcut requires a can of beans, but we didn't have any. then I remembered the orange lentils I had bought. They cook up very quickly.
Ingredients (I don't measure exactly, so there's no need to obsess about exact quantities)
- large onion
- medium squash
- nice sized chunk of sweet potato
- celeriac
- coarse salt, pepper (coarse is best,) parsley-- either fresh or dehydrated
- if you have carrots, add one or more, mushrooms also good, ditto for fresh parsley or celery
- cut in small chunks or slices
- put all in a large pot
- start sautéing in oil
- add at least a half cup of orange lentils
- boil a couple of liters of water
- add the boiling water and cover
- as soon as the soup begins to boil, turn down the flame to just simmer
Cook until it's all soft, and the lentils are mushy.
