Biblical lentil stew

Ingredients

lentils 1 glass
potatoes 1 PC.
bulb onions 1 PC.
carrot 1 PC.
spices, salt optional
greens, garlic optional

Cooking method

  • This biblical story, how Esau sold Jacob the birthright for a plate of lentil stew, is probably known to everyone. And recently I learned another interesting fact: in English, lentil is lentil, and Lent is Lent. Very interesting!
  • So. Pour 2 liters of water into a saucepan. We put only 1 glass of washed lentils there. Bring to a boil, cook for 15-20 minutes. Now add one finely chopped potato and chopped carrots and onions. Cook for another 5 minutes and add your favorite spices - dried dill, cilantro, basil, suneli hops. At the last moment, salt, turn off the heat and let it brew under the lid for about 15 minutes. Add finely chopped herbs with garlic to the plates. And no one who tried would dare to condemn Esau!

The dish is designed for

6-8 servings

Time for preparing:

40 minutes

dopleta, thanks for the recipe. And it's really tasty despite the simple ingredients. A great option when there is no time or you just don't know what to cook.

Oh, I love this soup!
rusja
And don't you need to pre-soak lentils like beans or peas?
dopleta
No, rusja, do not, lentils are cooked quickly.
rusja
Oh thanks
Pogremushka
We loved this soup. So today I will cook it again. Fast, simple and very tasty.
rusja
And I also add fried champignons to the broth and celery on a fine grater, in general, it tastes like DRIED mushrooms. Funky just

Are the mushrooms fresh or frozen? Celery root? We should try next time.
rusja
The champignons are fresh and fried with onions, and celery ... probably a root, but we sell it round, I always cut off a quarter and use it in salads and soups. I don't like the strong smell of celery.
Pogremushka
This is the root. I've seen the stems in stores, but the root ... you need to look.

Today I made this soup (I don't like the word soup, it is associated with something tasteless). I liked it very much. I cooked dried mushrooms with lentils (I don't know which ones, but edible ones for sure). Celery, like parsley root, was added dried ground, and also dried dill and a little chopped garlic. Very aromatic and tasty
Rucheek
dopleta I carry "Thank you" for the soup, it turned out tasty and aromatic, I added herbs, garlic and salt directly to the saucepan, boiled and turned it off, the soup was a little infused and yummy,
dopleta
And you, Rucheek, thanks for the tip!

No, the lentils there are not black, but ordinary, yellow. And the stew is not at all dark, maybe the color is slightly distorted in the photo.

Larisa, thank you very much for the recipe and history
Can you cook orange lentils according to the same scheme, or will you need to soak them first?

or will it be necessary to pre-soak?

No, no, you don't need to soak, it boils well!

Larisa-Dopleta, hello and prosper!

"Biblical"? Thanks for the new name. Sounds! And we called this stew - "a dish of the Italian poor"))).

But we must sauté onions and carrots (grated on a grater) in plain sunflower oil (not deodorized!). "Poor" - so poor))).
And we pass for practical reasons - onions will give a greater flavor, and carrot vitamins are better absorbed. And the color of the soup will become richer))). Goldish.

Salt at the end of cooking. Add peppercorns not "from the heart", but in a row - 12 peas.

Add finely chopped garlic directly to the pan. And immediately turn off the fire under it.

Yes, we pour less water - a liter and a half. And immediately, at the beginning of cooking, add 1 - 1.5 tsp for taste. Sahara.
Put more potatoes. Our soup is thick. Shiku? There is such a thing! )). But then we save on the "second"))).

The chowder can be served with black or white croutons fried in vegetable oil. And even - with sour cream (for "fat"))).

Larissa, thank you for the reminder - today I will cook such a green lentil soup. Sincerely. Kamena-Lena. ...

dopleta
Yes, Lena, my version is more primitive, simplified, yours is more "advanced", as far as such a simple recipe can be considered advanced. Thank you for your feedback, I am glad that I found another lover of this light, healthy soup!
Kamena
Larisa-dopleta , hello and prosper!

"... And none of those who tried will dare to condemn Esau!" (C) That's for sure!
Larissa, cooked soup according to your authentic recipe. Classic!

I put one potato (big, big).
I wanted to add some thyme. But I thought that there would be soup with him - "Bulgarian".
Garlic and dill-parsley-green onions - in a plate.

We also pleased our old grandmother with this soup. She said that her mother made this soup. Great!

Delicious soup turned out. And useful.

With respect and gratitude. Kamena-Lena. ...
dopleta
Thanks Lena ! I am very glad that your family liked my recipe too.

I read all your posts with great pleasure. You have a good style, Lena. I think you are a wonderful storyteller.

Very cute, very homemade soup! No frying - dietary.
I will not dare to condemn Esau) And I can not condemn myself for daring to cook this wonderful soup in chicken broth
Thank you! I take the soup into service.
