Soupe de Lentilles

This one's pretty hard to fuck up fellow readers, so don't be intimidated. It's a great way to impress your friends and it's vegetarian. Here's my take on Lentil Soup:


You need:
-1lb bag of Lentils
-1tbs Powdered Cumin seed
-1 carrot minced
-1 chunk ginger
-Salt/Pepper
-Olive Oil
-1 yellow onion
-1 tomato
-1/3 cup sake
-1tbs Garam Masala Curry Powder

Start by cooking your carrot, ginger, onion, and tomato in olive oil on low flame for about twenty minutes stirring ever so often in a large soup pot. Once a mushy paste has been formed, add your cumin and curry powder and rinsed lentils on high heat, then de-glaze with sake for another two minutes. Now fill the pot 3/4 with water and let this mixture cook for about an hour until your lentils are soft. Salt and Pepper to taste and enjoy with a piece of bread used as a spoon.
