Jerusalem Artichoke Sweet Potato And Lentil Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Add lentils not drained into pot.
• Add vegetable stock, chilli, cumin and garlic. Mix and cook until at boiling point.
• Add all vegetables and add water.
• Simmer until soft.
• Mash vegetables and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the leek and onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the Jerusalem artichokes, water and salt and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat, cover and simmer until the artichokes are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Gently reheat before serving.
• To crisp the sage leaves, heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and sauté until just crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Garnish each serving with a couple of the sage leaves.

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop the onions and sweet potatoes - can be chunky.
• Combine with the stock or water, lentils, garlic, cumin, cayenne and turmeric in a pot.
• Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes and lentils are cooked - about 20-30 minutes.
• Puree the soup, adding in the coriander and the juice of the lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste (lots of pepper for me).

Steps:

• Using a heavy casserole, sweat the onions in the olive oil over low heat, covered, about 20 minutes. Uncover, add the garlic and artichokes and increase heat. Continue sauteeing for a few more minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a spice grinder, grind the almonds, and mix with water. Whisk mixture into the soup with the saffron strands and the lemon juice. Reheat, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Add the carrots and onion and cook for 6 minutes or until softened.
• Add the ginger, garlic, cumin, pepper, and allspice, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the water, lentils, and rice, and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lentils and rice are tender.
• Stir in the sweet potatoes and salt.
• Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
• Stir in the spinach, and cook for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Place the chopped sweet potatoes, carrots, apple, and onion in the pot. Stir and cook the apples and vegetables until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Stir the lentils, ginger, ground black pepper, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and vegetable broth into the pot with the apple and vegetable mixture. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils and vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
• Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
• Return the pureed soup to the cooking pot. Bring back to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Add water as needed to thin the soup to your preferred consistency. Serve with yogurt for garnish.

Steps:

• When you are preparing the artichokes, drop them into water with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar as you go so they don't discolour. Drain before adding to the recipe later.
• Start the soup by sauteing the onions in the oil for a couple minutes.
• Add the turnips and artichokes. Fry for 3 - 4 minutes, then put the lid on and sweat for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice to avoid sticking.
• You may need to add 1/4 cup water if things start to stick to the pot.
• Rinse the lentils in a sieve then add to the vegetables with the stock. Stir well and bring to the boil.
• Boil for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf.
• Liquidise if preferred, then season to taste.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with a dash of olive oil in a large pot and soften the onion for a few minutes, before adding the garlic.
• After a few minutes add spices and herbs, the carrots, potatoes and artichokes, and let them sweat for 10 minutes on a low heat with the lid on.
• Pour in the stock, stir well, put the lid back on and simmer for a further 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
• You can the blend all or half of the soup. I personally prefer to leave some veggie chunks in mine!
• Taste to check the seasoning, re-heat and serve.
