The BEST lentil soup (I've ever had!)

Lentil soup is a good hearty soup, especially on a cold dreary day. It's usually a winner with my family, but this version elicited oooo's and aaah's tonight.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 pound lentils, picked and rinsed
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes, drained
  • 2 quarts chicken broth
  • 1 left-over hard cheese rind
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • dash of cayenne pepper
8 servings

Directions

Saute onion, carrot, celery and salt in the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.

Once translucent, add lentils, broth, tomatoes, cheese rind and spices.

Bring to a boil. Then cover, lower heat and simmer for 35 minutes or until lentils are tender.

Remove cheese rind and serve.
