Introduction


Super healthy with all the beta-carotene present in the carrots and pumpkin, the curcumin in the curry powder and turmeric and all the fibre in the protein-rich lentils and brown rice, this thick vegan soup doesn't skimp on flavour either! The croutons add a textural and flavour contrast that's out of this world!

Ingredients

    1 tbsp olive oil
    2 large, sweet onions, chopped
    1 stalk celery, chopped
    3/4 lb carrots, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 tsp fresh grated ginger
    1 tbsp curry powder
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp pepper
    5 cups roasted vegetable stock
    3 1/2 cups water
    2 tbsp nutritional yeast
    1 apricot, chopped
    3 bay leaves
    1 cup pumpkin puree
    1 1/2 cups raw red lentils
    1 cup raw, "sweet" (sushi) brown rice (or short-grain brown rice)

Directions

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-low.
Add onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they're beginning to caramelize - about 15 minutes.
Increase heat to medium and add celery, carrots, garlic and ginger.
Saute 5-6 minutes, until vegetables are beginning to colour and soften.
Stir in all the spices and mix to coat the vegetables well. Cook 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in stock and water, stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and add nutritional yeast, apricot, bay leaves, pumpkin puree, lentils and rice.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours until the vegetables and apricot have disintegrated and the lentils and rice are mushy.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then in batches in a blender or with a stick blender, puree until smooth.
Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate.
