Ingredients
-
1.5 tsp oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 leek, white area chopped (no bulb or leaves)
1 cup brown lentils
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3.5 cups vegetable stock
2 tsp Herbs de Provence
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp cumin, ground
cracked black pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
Directions
Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot, add onion, cook 5 minutes.
Add chopped leek, cook 2-3 minutes.
Stir in lentils, cook 1-2 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, veg stock, all herbs and spices, cover and bring to a rapid boil for about 5 minutes.
Turn down heat and simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are soft.
I set about 2/3 of the soup aside to cool down. Once cooled, process until smooth in a blender or food processor and return to the soup pot. For a more "liquidy" soup, process all, for more chunks, process less.
Garnish with extra cilantro and enjoy!

Used yellow lentils, and instead of stock used leftover homemade spaghetti sauce & water. Threw in sage, marjoram, tarragon, basil as well as cayenne & cumin (looked up ingredients to herbs de provence). No cilantro (don't care for it), used stick blender. Yummy & filling on a cold fall day! - 11/4/12
