Super-Cheap Lentil Soup - Superbillig linssoppa

SUPER-CHEAP LENTIL SOUP
Superbillig linssoppa

Serves 4

0.6 cup red lentils
1 finely chopped onion
5 finely chopped garlic cloves
1 sliced carrot
1 small leek, sliced
olive oil
4 cups vegetable bouillon
1 1/3 lbs sieved tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed cumin seeds
1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
fresh juice from 1 lemon
salt
sugar
1 bunch fresh coriander (optional)


Start with sizzling all the vegetables and the lentils in olive oil. Add bouillon and tomatoes and the spices, all but the fresh coriander that's for decoration if you wish. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 20 minutes.

When the soup is ready you mix it until smooth. Bring back to a boil and flavor to taste - it's supposed to be strong and tart and nicely salty. Decorate with optional coriander and serve, perhaps with gratined cheese sandwiches?

Enjoy!

Bella
