Lentil Tomato Soup |
|
|
|
|
|
Ingredients: |
| |
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3-4 sausage links (e.g.
chicken and basil), sliced
1 (28 oz) can whole peeled
tomatoes, with liquid
2 (14.5 oz) cans chicken
broth
2 cups dry brown lentils
1/2 cup Dry Creek Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
|
|
 |
|
|
Directions: |
|
Prep Time: 5
Minutes; Cook Time: 45 Minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over
medium high heat. Place the onions in the
pot and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add sausage
and saute for 5-7 more minutes, or until
onions are tender and sausage lightly
browned. Add lentils and stir until slightly
toasted, about 1 minute. Break up the canned
tomatoes into chunks and add to the pot,
along with the tomato juices (if you desire
a smoother base, you can puree the tomatoes
in a food processor or blender before adding
to the pot.) Add chicken broth. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for
20 minutes. Then, stir in the wine, garlic,
nutmeg, and cloves. Simmer for at least 25
more minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Serve with Dry Creek Vineyard Cabernet
Sauvignon! Serves 6-8.
