Blended Carrot and red lentil soup

 Blended Carrot and Red Lentil Soup


I use Red lentil & carrot soup By Sara Buenfel, but I swap and add a few extra ingredients 

You'll notice that I always use vegan block.  It gives food that top quality restaurant taste. and I also wouldn't be without tamari or nutritional yeast flakes.

 

Ingredients 

  •     1dsp spoon organic Japanese tamari 

  • 1 vegetable stock cube, crumbled – 1tbsp home-made nutritional yeast stock powder  

  • generous sprigs parsley, chopped (about 2 tbsp)

    Nutritional yeast flakes

Method 

  • STEP 1 

  • Put the kettle on to boil while you finely slice the onion. Heat the vegan block in a medium pan, add the onion garlic and diced carrots.  place lid on pan and gently sweat over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. 

  • STEP 2 

  • Pour in 1 litre of the boiling water from the kettle, stir in the lentils and stock cube, then cover the pan and cook over a medium heat for 15 mins until the lentils are tender.  Transfer to Vitamix blender and blend 

  • Ladle into bowls, and stir in parsley leaves and sprinkle nutritional yeast flakes over and  dsp spoon Oatly Greek Style Natural Yogurt.

Tomato and Sweet Pepper Soup

This is one of my family's favourite quick, easy soups that I make using my Vita Mix blender and using Vegan Block to give it a lovely silky quality as it mixes, let alone the amazing flavour it adds to everything.

I hope you enjoy making this one.

 

I love adding this soup to any left-over vegan lentil bolognaise
