Can you believe it...another lentil soup. Now this particular one calls for the Puy lentil, which was originally grown in France and when cooked holds it's firmness very well, unlike some of the other lentils available. For this dish I used Organic brown lentils from the local Farmer's Market. The coconut milk and ground cumin give this soup a smoky and exotic flavor, very nice. This recipe is adapted from the "New Vegetarian" by Cecila Brooks Brown.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup lentils
4 cups vegetable stock
1 onion, chopped
2 large cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup canned coconut milk
2-3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 handfuls of baby spinach, about 2 cups
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
To prepare:
Rinse the lentils, then put in a large saucepan and add enough cold water just to cover. Boil for 10 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients, except for the spinach. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
Just before serving add spinach. The heat from the soup will wilt the greens. Serve with grilled ciabatta rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.

Mysavoryspoon was first started in 2010 as a way to journal recipes that I had collected from cookbooks, magazines, family and friends. Most everything was savory, using legumes and whole grains. Along the way I discovered a love for baking. Now a couple times a month you might see some type of sweet pie or treat.
