PERSIAN-STYLE RED LENTIL AND TOMATO SOUP



Persian-Style Red Lentil and Tomato Soup image

This tangy soup is low-fat, quick and easy to prepare! It is a copycat-of a-copycat recipe from the soup served at Reza's, a Persian restaurant in Chicago (so called because I have never been to Reza's, but once had someone else's imitation of it!). Sumac powder and dried limes can both be found at Middle Eastern groceries or ethnic stores.

RED LENTIL, TOMATO AND SPINACH SOUP



Red Lentil, Tomato and Spinach Soup image

This is an Indian dish high in Iron. I found this on line and tweeked a bit. Both tomatoes and spinach are good sources of iron. They complement each other. Not in just taste but work together to help the body absorb the iron.

TOMATO AND RED LENTIL SOUP



TOMATO AND RED LENTIL SOUP image

Categories     Bean

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large stalk celery, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 ounce can chopped tomatoes
4 cups chicken stock or broth
1/2 cup red lentils
2 tablespoons dried parsley (or one bunch fresh, chopped)
to taste, salt and pepper
1-2 teaspoons sumac
1 small lemon, juiced (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, and cook until softened (a few minutes). Add the garlic, then, in a minute add the tomatoes and chicken stock. Simmer for about 20 minutes, season, and let it cool. Puree the soup, then strain back into the pot. This removes tomato skins and most seeds. Add the lentils and return to a low simmer. Taste a lentil in about 15 minutes to see if it's tender. If not, continue cooking, but don't let them get mushy. Add the sumac and parsley. Taste for seasoning and add lemon juice if you like.
