We had lentils, it was not soup, but lentils cooked with tomatoes and served with macaroni…usually small elbow macaroni. Great recipe for Macaroni and Lentil Soup.
Instructions to make Macaroni and Lentil Soup:
- Cut the onion, carrot, and celery into 1 cm cubes. Finely chop the garlic. If you're using fresh tomatoes instead of canned, blanch and peel the tomatoes and then cut into 1 cm cubes.
- Heat up olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery. Add the garlic. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the vegetables become tender.
- Once the vegetables are tender, add the canned tomato with the juices. Cook until the moisture evaporates and the tomatoes become tender.
- Add the lentils. Once everything has been covered in the sauce, add the bouillon, the thyme, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- The lentils I used this time don't require being soaked in water, so I just rinsed and used them as is.
- Once boiling, cover with a lid, lower the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. When the lentils have softened, add the macaroni and simmer for another 8 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve in a bowl and top with parmesan cheese and dribble on some olive oil if you would like.
My friend gave me lentils, so I used them in a soup. There will be some liquid left when it's finished, but in the case that you let it simmer a long time and the macaroni absorbs the extra liquid, I think it would be best to continue heating it and add. Lentils are a wonderful food to stock in your pantry. Using odds and ends of vegetables and canned tomatoes, this hearty soup comes together quickly. For the best leftovers, cook the macaroni separately and add per serving so it doesn't go soggy in the fridge.
