Fire-Roasted Tomato and Red Lentil Soup with Ginger and Cilantro

  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 2 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 chopped carrot
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger (you cannot substitute dry ginger here; it is not the same!)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 large sweet potato, skinned and cut to bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium white potato, skinned and cut to bite-size pieces
  • 1 28-oz. can Muir Glen Fire Roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup red lentils (again, do not substitute brown lentils here; red are much more delicate and quicker to cook)
  • 1 can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable or un-chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  1. Sautee onions, garlic and carrots for 5 minutes in olive oil
  2. While they are sautéing, mix the ginger, curry and cinnamon into a paste
  3. Add the paste to the veggies and stir to coat
  4. Add the broth, potatoes, tomatoes and lentils, garbanzos, salt and sugar and simmer for 1/2 hour
  5. At the end, end the cilantro, lemon juice and serve. This soup is even better the next day.
