Curry Lentil Soup

Labels: { , , }

Lentils are loaded with nutrients, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and folic acld. Lentils are a low calorie, low fat, and cholesterol free food.
There are hundreds of varieties of lentils, with as many as fifty or more cultivated for food. They come in a variety of colors, with red, brown, and green being the most popular. Lentils have an earthy, nutty flavor, and some varieties lend a slight peppery touch to the palate.

Lentils are also an important source of iron. Eating lentils with foods rich in Vitamin C, such as tomatoes, green peppers, broccoli, and citrus fruits or juices, helps the body absorb iron more efficiently.
Lentils are also protein rich. They lack only one protein, methionine. Adding grains, eggs, nuts, seeds, meat, dairy products, or egg will provide a complete protein.
Soluble fiber in lentils acts as a scrub brush, cleaning the digestive system. This type of fiber also decreases serum glucose and cholesterol, and decreases insulin requirements for people with diabetes. from Lentil Facts & Lore
  • 300 g Green lentils

This looks incredibly good.... During Lent, Eastern Orthodox Christians are supposed to abstain from meat. This would br a perfect dish to serve over the next couple of months!

Mmmm....healthy curry. Looks utterly delicious. My favourite to go with paratha or roti canai as we call it back home. I can have this any time of the day...mmm

WendyinKK 30/1/10 15:28

Yummy... I always finish up the Dhall that comes with the roti canai, not by dipping the roti in it, but by eating it on its own :)
Now I can have a recipe to refer to when I want to make my own.

I was preparing to make lentil soup this evening. I think I will take your cue and add curry. I have forgotten what a great addition curry is to stews and soups. Lentil soup very satisfying.

[Reply]
carmenpiva 31/1/10 21:44

Lentils are really healthy and tasty, but we cook them here in a sort of stew, not soup. Anyway, I'd love to try them in soup!!. The picture... you already know what I'm going to say... gorgeous!!

I love lentils and have made lentil chili and lentil soup in the past. I've not done much with curry. Any recommendation for a good curry to use? Thanks!

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 15/5/10 10:14

Kate: Me neither. I am not quite good in cooking curry dishes. The one I used for this lentil soup was this normal yellow curry.

I love lentils and the fact that they are so good for you is a bonus. I just wish I could persuade my kids to eat them but I have failed so far.
