Velvet Red Lentil Soup

[marian13]

It's starting to get cold outside so I am thinking it's soup time!  I found this soup and made it with a few of the modification that some of the reviewers mentioned including the cumin (1 tsp.), garlic (fresh, about 1 clove, chopped), and carrots (2 sliced).  It came out really good, but not as 'velvety' as I would have liked so next time I will use slightly less water.  My husband, the non-vegan, had two big bowls and can't stop bragging about it and is trying to think of what I should put in it next time.  He thinks cauliflower would go well in it.

This soup was amazing! It was so easy to throw together that it is becoming a staple in my family. 

I added some minced garlic, mushrooms and spinach to it as well, tossed it all in a blender, and viola! Beautiful green soup that any kid would think is sludge. LOL. 

Again, great, healthy recipe!

This soup is great!  I spoon out some of the peppercorns before blending though.  I use an immersion blender and then I pour the soup through a strainer to remove the big pieces of pepper because my kids don't like to bite down on them.  They all love the soup though.  A definite family favorite!
