In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery; cook, stirring, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Increase heat to high and add tomatoes; cook for 1 minute. Add lentils, turnip, and 6 cups water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in parsley and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
It was awesome! I added some sriracha chilli sauce and some curry powder and that made it way better but it was good without it too. Could use more liquid action, so maybe add a bit more water or maybe a couple cups of veg. broth.
I didn't have turnip, so left that out. I added [filtered word]ake mushrooms which I sauted with the onions and celery. I added 2 cans chichen broth for 4 cups of the water. It was delicious! This one will be a staple.
Excellent! I wasn't doing the cleanse so replaced one cup of water for white wine and added a bay leaf. Fantastic!
Delicious!! I added extra vinegar which gave it great flavor. Also threw in a couple of bay leaves.
Made this today & it's soo good! I was nervous after reading the bland review, but I added a dash of cayenne and it was plenty flavorful. And filling. It's a winner in my opinion!
This was reasonably filling but incredibly bland. I added quite a bit of curry powder and salt and pepper, I'll try the cayenne and chili peppers that other posters suggested
Mine was not thick - bummer. The turnip was not cooked after the 25 minutes. Guess I'll add some cayenne and red pepper and enjoy what I've made and try again!
thick and hearty soup hit the spot during this cold snap
*chile peppers and cayenne is what I meant to write.
Need a little spice in your life? Throw in some green peppers and a dash of cayenne! yum
This is terrific! My tomatoes were going to go south before I made this recipie while on the 2012 action plan. So I blended up a small version of the M.Stewart Roasted Tomato Sauce (one of my faves) and used 1-1/2 cups of that instead of fresh tomatoes. I think it gave a richer soup & still kept with the plan (I think). Will make this MANY more times!
And, I don't even like lentils...
