: Just want to thank Sherry, for the recipe. But I am looking for a Lentil soup that is meatless and with not meat flavoring. I don't know if one excess but still looking.
Hearty Lentil Soup
Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 leek, sliced
1 carrot, diced
1 parsnip, scrubbed and diced
1 potato, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 cup dry lentils, rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups vegetable stock
2 bay leaves
1 dash soy sauce
2 teaspoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan and mix in the onions, carrot, parsnip, celery, potato, and leek. Stir over a medium heat.
2 Place lentils, tomatoes, stock, bay leaves, a splash of the soy and Worcestershire sauces and wine in the saucepan. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked.
3 Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Stir in the cilantro and serve.
