Behold The “Golden Slurp!”
Deceptively simple, rich, flavorful and healthy! My wife Alex found this recipe and I made it – and she was a very happy person afterwards!
Here’s how you make it:
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 red onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
1/2 sweet potato, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 cup (240 ml) uncooked red lentils
6 cloves garlic, minced – I use more of course!
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp pepper
4 bay leaves
8 cups (2 liters) vegetable or chicken broth
And the secret ingredient? A chunk of parmesan rind, which goes into the soup as you cook…it slowly melts that incredible flavor into the soup as it simmers…
Chop all veggies into small pieces. Add all the veggies, spices and lentils to a saucepan or deep skillet.
Saute for 5 minutes in some olive oil.
So easy and smells good too!
Pour in vegetable or chicken broth, fresh bay leaves, and then cover with a lid.
Bring the soup to a simmer and cook until the veggies are tender.
Take a cup and blend it so there is more of a creaminess – which adds more creamy deliciousness and is fun to do as well!
Check out the parmesan rind now:
Serve the soup with grated Parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Enjoy your flavourful golden lentil and vegetable “golden slurp!”
Shaving the parmesan leaves a lot of “texture” on the side of the bowl – but I love how easy and delicious this was, and healthy too! We had a baguette with fresh butter to go alongside it…a quick and fun new favorite!
Here’s another healthy soup we love: the Greek A\”Avgolemono” soup – Alex loves it and you will too – here’s the recipe:
And if you want something heartier – especially with winter on the way – here’s a Chili that is healthy as well as full-bodied:
