| Lentil Soup...
Posted: 8/7/2009 11:24:09 PM | | Thanks for your reply... I realize it is cooking & we can put whatever we have available... I wanted to make sure you didn't leave out a key type of onion from your recipe... I can be very specific on types because there are so many flavors especially with Onions not to drowned out the soup with onion flavor. I will try the scallions, that seems good, but I won't put them in til last to keep some of the flavor. The pearl onions are not so pungent, but sweet, and small, so that when you eat the soup you dont get a half or quarter of onion in your mouth, way too much onion for me or in my mouth at once, & too difficult trying to cut it with a spoon. ~k/f | |

I used just one for the first time a couple weeks ago, had to google how to use them, it said cut off all the green part because it's too tough, slice the bulb part in rings and then soak in water to get any dirt off. SmilingSalmon posted a recipe using leeks above. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 8:44:46 AM | I have another lentil soup with history. I am not sure what it is with priests and lentil soup, but they seem to have a special relationship with it. I have made this one for every priest I have known and they seem to love it like a special childhood toy, so I call it...
Vow of Silence Lentil Soup
2 leeks, top half of green top cut off and discarded, splint down center length, wash well, slice
5 shallots, large, slice thin
1/2# mushrooms, minced, I use any kind of brown
2 medium carrots, washed and minced, do not peel
3 medium parsnips, washed and minced, do not peel
1 small rutabaga, peeled, minced
1 celeriac, peeled, minced
1 cup minced celery top with leaves, minced
12 oz. brown lentils, dry, wash and drain
olive oil
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh tarragon
4 sprigs fresh marjoram
Once all vegetables are prepared put them in a large bowl and mix them together. In a large deep skillet (large enough to cook a big soup in) with lid, or a wide soup pot, pour about 3 tbls oil and caramelize vegetable mix. You may have to do this in 2-3 batches, depending on size of you pot. You do not want to sweat them, so you cannot put too much in at a time, only a thin layer in the bottom of the pan.
As vegetables begin to get a light golden color, then remove to bowl and do the next batch. When the last batch of vegetables are caramelized, put all veggies back into pot, put in herbs, heat altogether and season with salt and pepper.
Add lentils and enough water to cover 4" to 5", cover and simmer until lentils are tender. Taste and reseason, then simmer 20 minutes more.
This soup is great with some crusty bread, a great old cheese, some dark grapes and figs.
