Lentil Soup
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 cup red lentils2 tbsp canola oil2 or more cups water2 tbsp white flour1 tsp salt4 lemon wedges
Wash lentils in water, then put them in a pot with 2 cups of water. Cook them slowly until they are soft.
Don't close the lid of pot, it will boil over.
If water doesn't look enough to cook lentils, you can always add some more.
Pour lentils in a blender, and blend well.
In the same pot, pour canola oil and add white flour, then cook the flour by whisking until it becomes light brown, but don't burn it.
Then pour the lentils inside the pot, and adjust the consistency with some hot water. (It is good when it is thick).
Season with salt, and serve with lemon wedges.
Enjoy!

This recipe is merely a suggestion - there is nothing to add any flavor except lemons. You could probably use this as a base and add carrots, kale, tomatoes or whatever veggies you have around. Then throw in curry poweder or italian seasoning of some kind. On it's own, it would be too bland. - 7/2/08
