Cooking method

• Here's a delicious lean soup that's easy to turn into a quick one by adding a slice of crisp-fried bacon to each plate, which I do for non-fasting family members.
• Of course, you can cook it in broth, then preferably in lamb,
• or add smoked pork rib.
• But in the lean version, the soup turns out to be very tasty, and we compensate for the absence of meat additives with a large amount of spices.
• I used to cook such a soup with peas, but as soon as lentils appeared in stores at the dawn of the 90s, I replaced peas with this product, which is more useful and easier for the stomach.
• Sometimes I turn this soup into a puree soup for my mother.
• - Finely chop the onion and carrots and sauté in oil on the "Fry" mode without a lid until golden brown, stirring occasionally. At the end of frying add finely chopped red pepper and stir.
• - We wash the lentils with cold water and put them in a saucepan.
• - Grate pumpkin and root celery, cut potatoes into strips or cubes. Add pressure cooker to the pot.
• - Dilute the tomato paste a little with water, add to the saucepan. Instead of tomato paste, you can (even better) add 2/3 cup pureed tomatoes or tomato juice.
• - Finely chop the garlic and herbs, add all the spices. If the pumpkin is completely unsweetened, then add a pinch of sugar in order to balance the acidity of the tomato component.
• 
• - Pour boiling water into a saucepan, salt and cook at a pressure of 0.3 for 10 minutes. If you like completely boiled lentils, then add a couple more minutes of cooking or cook at a pressure of 0.7. After 5-10 minutes, drain off the remaining steam and open the lid.
• Serve with herbs. And my son loves to eat this soup with a slice of lemon.
• I really like to add slices of fried bacon with fat to this soup.

Note

Why is this soup good? And he is like a magic wand! If we subtract water and add fried meat, we get a delicious second dish with an oriental touch.
And it also masks the pumpkin so well that all non-lovers eat this soup without problems.

Rada-dmsand red lentils and orange lentils are the same thing?

[Bridge]

Bridge, I have always believed that yes, the same thing. These are peeled lentils. Red is usually written on the packages.

Well that's it! I'll rest now and go to cook.

Great, you came up with the next. Once I try it, there probably cinnamon gave a wonderful aroma. I love this combination - cinnamon and spicy taste! And today we added adjika when warming up, also mmm .... it worked!
Thank you for believing in my recipe right away!

Olya, thank you for the recipe !!

Masha, I will be glad if it comes in handy during the fast, but it is very tasty on lamb or smoked ribs!

[Olya]

Olya, I was worried in vain, of course the recipe will come in handy, and during the post I especially want to cook complete and delicious dishes. I have maximum variety during fasting
Sunny soup will be registered with us.

Can I rename it? They called it so beautifully!
Marish, this is rightly noticed! : Friends: In my post, my brains work with recipes in a different way, all kinds of combinations are born, I am drawn to experiments ...

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dmsAnd the experiment was successful! I made a sunny soup last night, strictly according to the recipe, ate half of the plate, could not resist - delicious! For the night it was infused, today it is even tastier! Mine do not fast - but the soup is gone
Thank you!
PS: a separate merci from me personally for the idea of ​​cinnamon in soup (mine do not like it, but I love it because I love oriental cuisine, and lamb with cinnamon is my favorite dish).

I can imagine how delicious it is with lamb!

[IamLara]

IamLara, Larochka! I was very happy about your review! Thank you very much!
It's nice that the soup did not disappoint! Even during non-fasting we often cook soups without meat, so at least once a month I cook similar ones. Sometimes I make this soup with soaked peas, which is also delicious, but I still prefer to cook with peas on the bone or with bacon.
Recently I cooked a spicy lamb soup with mash, mint and cinnamon - a complete delight!
It's great that our tastes match, so let's exchange recipes!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, I also cook with mashing and vegetables, also spicy, but I didn't think of mint. I put in sauces for meat, but I forget about soups.
Legumes are on our table all the time, starting from simple pea porridge. A close friend taught me to spicy and spicy cuisine, in his student years, and I have already planted my whole family.
Two years ago I flew to visit them - "an oriental tale", at their bazaar I would just stay to live

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Olenka, thank you for the delicious soup, we liked it!
My pumpkin was not identified, although they cannot stand it!
Served with crackers, tomorrow with bacon!

The soup is probably hefty delicious, ... you have to take peas and go to work ... to the stove))))))

Delicious, delicious! It didn’t work as beautiful as Rada-dms (I’ll buy curly slices, then I’ll post my own), the taste is delicious! I have already cooked twice, I myself ate lean, and for men separately with bacon. And this is another big plus for the IDEA!
So you can beat almost any lean soup.

Honestly, I initially bought a plate! Because at home she is the same petty, most beloved! I bought it in Surnames, and I still regret having bought one. Here, in fact (it's the same, right? I had to put bread on it, so as not to be empty in the frame):

I didn’t dare to put cinnamon, tomorrow I’ll eat it, I’ll sprinkle a little on my plate, I’ll try. Cooked in a 4-liter saucepan, on smoked ribs. The pumpkin is completely unrecognizable!
My photo is not very good, it does not convey color. The soup is so sunny! Cooking smells are completely summer
VERY tasty, thank you very much for the recipe. The soup will definitely take root at home.

In winter, I often cook this soup for myself. He's warming

Today I added 3 tomatoes, canned in their own juice, instead of mashed ones, and did not put potatoes, only pumpkin. Delicious!

Ksyusha, thanks for cooking! And I fed my family with a useful product! This is the whole trick, I also do not "find" a pumpkin in it, and taught it to taste. Actually, no one asks what the soup is with! : lol: And if you cook with peas, and it is cooked longer, then the pumpkin generally dissolves in the broth.

And I also cook this soup for 20 years, I thought of it myself, however, I used to cook it with peas! Indeed, in summer, lighter soups are drawn!

And in general, my pumpkin is mistaken for potatoes, the last time I did not put it

Today I added 3 tomatoes, canned in their own juice, instead of mashed ones, and did not put potatoes, only pumpkin. Delicious!

It turned out great! What bright tomatoes! And I don't always put potatoes either, especially when I cook with peas!
Larochka !!! Thanks for the nice report !!!

Yes, a plate from this series! And I still have with horses. And cups!
Oh, smoked ribs generally work great. Thank you for your trust and such a beautiful soup in the photo !!

Thanks again for the valuable recipe, it stuck!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Olya, thank you very much for the soup!
I cooked in an ordinary saucepan, did not rub the vegetables, but cut them into cubes; there was no garlic in the house, hops-suneli too, so I took a curry. Instead of petiolate root celery, it was added towards the end of the boil so that it retains a light crunch. Tomatoes are from a can, but I added a little more of them than in the recipe. When served, as you recommended, lemon, and as greens, cilantro. The soup is delicious !!! The recipe is also remarkable in that it gives freedom of creativity. I will definitely cook more. I will return home and try it in the slow cooker. Thank you!!!

[YaTatiana]

YaTatiana, Tanya! That made me happy, so happy !! : girl_love: Thank you for not being too lazy to write a review! And for its own version, it will be useful to everyone !!: rose:
Yes, this soup is even more aromatic with curry, I also cooked it!
And with garlic I always have problems, my own dries up by the spring, so I bought granulated from Y. Vysotskaya and use it when there is no "live"
And adjika goes well with this soup!
I will wait for your impressions after cooking in the cartoon.

: Olya, how I love this soup! Today I cooked it with meatballs. All according to the recipe, but with peas. And I threw the meatballs 15 minutes before cooking. Well, very tasty! Today I decided to give the soup an oriental touch and added cumin. And hot pepper. I got a little cold, and your sunny soup warms me with just its appearance. Already two times today they were treated. And you know it's getting better right before my eyes

[Bridge]

BridgeNatasha, you won't believe it, I'm driving now and taking this soup in a container to a new dacha! I made it on boiled-smoked brisket Rublevskaya, salted with Svan salt, it also tasted oriental! Cooked to warm friends who help!

We carry things - in traffic jams for half a day!

But Zira didn't guess, thanks for the advice! But I often cook with meatballs, with willing sausages, and squeeze meatballs out of kupat when there is no time. Yes, it is delicious in a lean form! And it's not worse with the goose, but now the thought I came to mind with the bean to hammer him, what do you think?
Thank you for saying so "tasty" about our favorite soup with you and reminding others! I'll come and take a picture if the light is normal!
From your such sunny photo, all the microbes will scatter at once! Get well! Probably, spices, warming herbs and vegetable and animal proteins are doing their job! BE HEALTHY! Take care of yourself!!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, I think it will be very fine with red beans. Oh, but with smoked meats, I didn't think to cook it. Must try with beans and smoked something.

Low bow for delicious soup!
Cooked in a cartoon in ready-made chicken broth. Pumpkin, celery, roots - frozen. I slightly reduced the spices (child of patamushta). Served with melted bacon.
Tasty is not the right word! You can eat your tongue with your brains
I take it with gratitude! Thank you!

[IvaNova]

IvaNova, Ira! Yes, it's a deep bow to you that raised my favorite recipe!

Served with melted bacon.
Tasty is not the right word! You can eat your tongue with your brains
I take it with gratitude! Thank you!

Yes, it turns out awesome with melted bacon! I also do this with other vegetarian soups, immediately a different level of soup - raises the bacon, I want more immediately!
Oh, well, I'm very glad to have such a response and result! Here you will do more and remember me, and I, too, will be in my heart!

Girls, why was the pumpkin not tasty after cooking? I even took the bowl out onto the porch and ventilated the house, such an unpleasant smell. Pumpkin 6 kg, outside is greenish - gray, ribbed. It turned out a whole bowl, put onions and spices (curry, salt). Vegetables, 0.7, 9 minutes.



I wanted to then halve this amount for soup and pancakes.

[Sashunesha]

Sashunesha, Do you mean that the pumpkin in the soup turned out to be tasteless? Actually, in this recipe, the pumpkin almost dissolves in the soup, it is difficult to isolate it and understand where the pumpkin is and where the carrots are. Maybe you got such a pumpkin, or maybe you are just not a pumpkin lover?
The soup has been tested and approved by many, and I cook it once a month, at least I have never heard any complaints about taste.
It is a pity, of course, if the taste did not suit, probably this variety does not suit. But I remember that the gray pumpkin is usually with good sweet pulp, but we grew it ourselves. By the way, I bought a similar one, everything was ok with taste.

[Sashunesha]

Sashunesha, this is a sort of pumpkin, apparently. Or dusty with zucchini, if planted nearby. We did just that, in the end the pumpkin is tasteless

No, it's not the recipe, I didn't have time for the recipe, I just passed it under pressure with spices: onion, nutmeg, curry, shambhala, celery. It's just that the pumpkin turned out to be a whole bowl and nothing fit. Still, I didn't throw it away, I took it from the frost into the house and today I already made pancakes, adding bay, allspice, garlic and white pepper from spices. The pancakes are delicious, but we have fried food - as a rare exception, so I'll try the casserole, maybe muffins, and I hope that it will make a soup.
