Low Salt Lentil Soup

"Lentils are naturally a no sodium food, and this Low Salt Lentil Soup is HEAVENLY!"


Low Salt Lentil Soup

 Lentil Bisque
 
 
Don't let the long list of ingredients put you off, this is worth it! Most of the ingredients you most likely will have on hand at any time. And the food processor makes the preparation quick and easy.
 
1/4 cup    parsley  
3   garlic cloves  
2   carrots  
2   celery  
2   onions  
1   leek  
2   tomatoes  
1/4 cup    olive oil  
1 lb    lentils  
4 cups    low sodium beef broth  
2 cups    water  
2   bay leaves  
1/2 tsp    rosemary  
1/2 tsp    thyme  
1 tsp    lemon juice  
1/4 tsp    grated lemon peel  
1/4 cup    heavy whipping cream  
 
1 Process the parsley in your food processor with the metal blade for 5 sec. With the motor running, drop the garlic into the feed tube and process for 10 sec. Add the carrots and celery. Pulse 8-10 times to roughly chop the vegetables. Reserve.
2 Coarsely chop the onions and the leek in the processor, reserve. Now, coarsely chop the tomatoes.
4 Heat the oil in a large stockpot. Stir in the carrot mixture, onion. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook an additional 5 minutes. Add the lentils and stir to coat with the oil.
5 Stir in the broth and water. (You may need to add additional water during the cooking so it doesn't become too thick.)
6 Bring to a boil and add the remaining ingredients, except for the cream. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours until the lentils are tender.
7 Remove the bay leaves and pour 2 cups of the soup into your processor and process until smooth. With the motor running, add the cream and process for 10 seconds.
8 Stir this puree into the soup and heat, but do not boil
9 Serve immediately.
