Yellow Lentil Soup with Cilantro Chutney image

This Indian-style soup has an almost creamy quality thanks to yellow lentils. (If you can't get them, swap in yellow split peas, and cook them 10 minutes or so more.)

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon safflower oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
6 cups Easy Vegetable Stock
1 1/2 cups yellow lentils (12 ounces), rinsed well
Coarse salt
1 cup fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons safflower oil
2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Make the soup: Heat oil and coriander seeds in a medium saucepan over high heat for 1 minute. Add stock and lentils. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, and simmer gently, partially covered, until lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Meanwhile, make the chutney: Pulse cilantro, lime juice, oil, and ginger in a food processor until cilantro is finely chopped. Serve soup topped with chutney.
