Pea Soup

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 hours
Servings: 8-10

Ingredients

1 cup green split peas
1/2 cup dried baby lima beans
1/4 cup barley
8 cups water
1 onion, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 cups vegetable broth
2 carrots, chopped
2 potatoes, chunked
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Place split peas, lima beans, barley and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and add bay leaves and celery seed. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 1 additional hour.

Hints: If you want to make this without the lima beans, increase the split peas to 2 cups and reduce the initial cooking time to 1/2 hour. This recipe freezes and reheats well. For a delicious smoky flavor, try adding a couple drops of liquid smoke to the soup about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Moroccan Red Lentil Soup

Try serving with whole grain flatbread to scoop up the juices, or ladle the soup over brown rice.

1 onion, chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped
6 cups vegetable broth
1½ cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup dried red lentils
1 can (15 ounce) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup orzo*
½ cup chopped cilantro/corriander
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

*Orzo, also risoni, is a form of short-cut pasta, shaped like a large grain of rice. Orzo can be served alone; as a soup accompaniment; as part of a salad, pilaf, or giouvetsi; or baked in a casserole.

Method

Pour ½ cup of water into a large soup pot along with the onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, coriander, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, then cover and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.

Stir in the orzo, cilantro/corriander, and lemon juice. Cook 10 minutes longer, until the orzo is al dente.

Serve hot.

½ teaspoon marjoram

¼ teaspoon thyme
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 cups uncooked fancy ribbon noodles

Method

Brown Lentil Soup

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6-8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons water for sautéing
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 cups brown lentils, picked through and rinsed
8 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Method

Heat the water in a soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 7 minutes.

Add the lentils, stock, coriander, and cumin, and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the lentils are tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Serve as is, or using an immersion blender, puree to your preferred consistency. Alternatively, you may transfer a portion of the soup to the blender, puree, and then return to the pot.
