Vegan Red Lentil Soup With Swiss Chard Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with turmeric, cumin, and dry mustard and stir to combine for 1 minute.
• Rinse lentils under cold running water twice in a colander and drain. Add lentils and water to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until lentils are soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Add rice and puree with an immersion blender. Add more water if soup is too thick.
• Stir chard and cilantro into the soup and cook until flavors are well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan with a lid, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened and browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, oregano, and thyme; stir to combine.
• Add lentils, 5 cups water, and tomatoes with their juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes. Add chard stalks and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chard leaves; season with salt and pepper, and cook until lentils and chard are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in lemon juice; ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil, and serve with bread, if desired.

Steps:

• Soak lentils in a bowl with water to cover for 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil and bouillon in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and curry powder into onion mixture. Cook and stir until onion is tender and browned, adding a few spoonfuls of vegetable broth if needed to prevent burning, about 10 minutes more.
• Drain lentils and stir into onion mixture with remaining broth; bring soup to a boil. Cover stockpot, reduce heat, and simmer until lentils are soft, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Trim chard leaves, stack together, and cut into 3/4-inch strips. Stir chard into soup and cook until softened, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a 5 to 6 quart crockpot, stir, and cook for 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.
• Lentils and other vegetables should be cooked but not overly soft.
• Remove bay leaves, stir and serve with fresh baked cornbread and jalapeno pepper sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until light gold, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in curry and cayenne. Add 4 cups broth and chard. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring, until chard is wilted.
• Stir in lentils and chickpeas. Lower heat to low. Cover and simmer 16 - 18 minutes, stirring twice, until lentils are tender.
• Remove from heat. Puree half of it; return to pot. Stir in last cup of broth and salt. Warm over low for 2 minutes.
• Put into bowls. Top with thinned yogurt. Garnish with slices of jalapeno and lime.
