Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound lentils, picked and rinsed
1 cup peeled and chopped tomatoes
2 quarts vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground toasted cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise
* You can substitute Black Pepper for the Grains of Paradise and Chicken Stock for Vegetable Stock. I used Wegmans Veggie Stock which has lower sodium then most stocks. I also added a couple cloves of garlic.
Directions
Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery and salt and sweat until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin and grains of paradise and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree to your preferred consistency. Serve immediately.

I make this exact recipe (from Alton, of course), except I have made a couple changes: for the tomatoes, I just use a can of diced tomatoes (the del monte brand with garlic and onion) and I add several cloves of minced garlic. Also, it's very filling- half a serving could easily be a whole meal. - 1/15/10

one thing, the lentil measurement is cooked weight and I think you need dry weight. They get a lot heavier when cooked. I redid the info and got 254 calories for 8 servings, which is still great, and also a lot more fiber and protein per serving as there are a lot more lentils. Otherwise, great! - 1/29/13

It smells wonderful and my husband is quite excited by the aromas in the house. I put in 2 cups of onion, used frozen garden cherry tomatoes and fresh curry leaves from a Minneapolis Indian mkt. I don't know what they really are; find them in the refrigerator section @ $24 a lb. I got a $3 package. - 12/12/12
