Red Lentil and Sweet Potato Soup

This hearty soup makes a great light lunch or a starter for a severalcourse meal. Blending gives it a delightfully smooth texture.

Ingredients

Serves: Prep:  15min |Cook: 45min |Total: 1hr 0min
              

Directions

1.
Steam-fry the onions in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until soft, adding very small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking and burning. (Or place in a microwaveable dish, cover, and microwave on high for 5 minutes.) Stir in the cumin and ginger and blend well.
2.
Place the broth, sweet potatoes, and lentils in a medium soup pot. Add the onions and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Add the lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Process using a hand-held blender in the pan or in batches in a blender or food processor, until creamy. (Remove the middle part of the blender or food processor lid so hot air can escape.Cover the hole loosely with a folded clean cloth while blending.) Serve hot and with paprika sprinkled on top of each bowl.
