Lentil Soup


We tried the coriander, orange-scented red lentil soup this week. I did buy an organic orange and I used Swanson's vegetable broth (which I like more than the author's of the book). The soup came together in about an hour. It was thinner than I expected for a lentil soup, but very flavorful. The orange juice and cilantro give it a very bright taste. I agree with Bruce that it might be good served cold in the summer.
Here is the recipe:

  3. I tried out this recipe this weekend. It was excellent although the next time I make it I'll double the portion size. It make four servings but everyone would have gladly had seconds.
