Quick Lentil Soup
Lentil is a good soup for this time of year. Along with a sandwich, it can make a satisfying meal. And this recipe is fast, because a blender does all the hard work.
1 cup lentils
1 large onion, quartered
1/2 cup diced cooked ham
1 celery stalk with leaves, coarsely cut
1 carrot, coarsely cut
1/4 cup parsley clusters
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
3 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1 quart water
1 cup sour cream
Put the lentils in a blender and blend on high 20 seconds or until ground. Remove lentils to a large saucepan. Put the remaining ingredients, except sour cream, in the blender and blend on high five seconds. Add to ground lentils and stir to mix.
Pour in one quart of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, forty minutes, stirring occasionally. Put one cup of hot soup and the sour cream into the blender. With your hand on the cover, blend on high five seconds. Stir the sour cream mixture back into the soup. Heat soup up to serving temperature, stirring occasionally. Serves 6-8.
