Cold or hot, thin or thick, pale or brightly coloured, vegan or animal broth. Soups come in so many different ways that it is quite beyond her tapping capabilities to list them all!
She makes a soup every couple of days during the winter months and a great deal of them are just made with vegetables, my favourite is a Moroccan style carrot and red lentil soup.
It's very thick as she uses two cups of well rinsed lentils and at least six fat chopped carrots.
Start with olive oil in a big saucepan to which you add a large chopped onion and three cloves of crushed and chopped garlic, fry these gently for about 2 minutes, then add the spices.
Use a teaspoonful of : Powdered cumin, cinnamon, paprika, coriander seeds and an inch of grated ginger and turmeric roots.
Fry everything gently over a low heat and stir well for about 3 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots, continue to fry and stir everything.
Add 1.5 litres of vegetable stock and the lentils, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and puree the soup in the pan. Taste and add salt and pepper.
It's thick and incredibly warming. I love it.. so does she. We give it to our Lebanese friends who live near by. They love it as well and we hope you do too!
