Thermomix Lentil Soup – Hearty and Delicious!

lentil-soup

This Thermomix Lentil Soup has been an incredibly popular recipe for many years and for good reason! It’s so hearty and really is all you need for a complete meal. It does go great with toast for dipping too, if you’re that way inclined.

I absolutely love this recipe, but I have improved on it and included the tweaked version in my third cookbook, Feel Good Food Made Easy. If you’re after some fabulous winter warmer recipes, you can’t go past this collection of amazing meals!

Seriously, soup is something the Thermomix does so well and this lentil soup showcases that perfectly.

This is such a flavoursome, hearty soup that I hope you enjoy as much as we do.  It warms you up from the inside and is perfect for a cold day!

Ingredients

  • 200 g dried brown lentils
  • 100 g leek sliced
  • 240 g carrots diced bite-sized
  • 75 g white sweet potato diced bite-sized
  • 75 g zucchini diced bite-sized
  • 75 g celery sliced (including some of the leaves, if you have them)
  • 20 g ghee or butter
  • 20 g olive oil
  • 150 g tomato paste
  • 70 g Odds-and-Ends Vegetable Stock Concentrate
  • 1 large dried bay leaves or 2 small
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 800 g water

Instructions

  • Firstly, you will need to soak the lentils. Place them in a bowl and cover generously with water. Leave for 2-3 hours. After this time, drain and rinse thoroughly then you can get started with cooking the soup.
  • Into mixer bowl, place leek, carrots, sweet potato, zucchini, celery, ghee and olive oil. Saute 15 minutes/100/reverse/speed 1/MC on. Softening the veggies in this way before adding the liquid makes a big difference to the flavour.
  • Add the drained, rinsed lentils, tomato paste, stock paste, bay leaves, thyme, cayenne and enough water to reach the 2L line inside the bowl (approximately 800g water). Cook 35 minutes/100/reverse/speed soft/MC on, or until lentils are tender.

I am obsessed with all your recipes and both of your cookbook are covered in food because I have used them so much. But this recipe is actually my fave! So so so so delicious and nurturing. As someone said above it’s like a big bear hug!

This soup is like a nourishing big bear hug. It fills you and warms you, and you can’t help but feel comforted with every mouthful.

I just made this delicious soup. I used red lentils because i had them and they dont need soaking…i used a half jar of Pasata (about 300g) and added water to that to make up the 800g…so didnt need the tomato paste….used homemade stock paste from basic cook book ….and i have eaten nearly the whole lot….thank you it is a really great soup (meal)..

Such a fantastically delicious soup. Leftovers did not stay around long enough for me to get any. Hungry teenage boy had it for snacks and lunch. Will definitely be making this again 🙂

I’m sitting here trying to figure out where the deliciousness came from?!? Witchcraft!! As a total lentil novice I could never have imagined they’d be so tasty, so thank you!

Also – as a side note, does the white sweet potato play a special role? I could only source orange so I subbed that instead.

I’ve had a run of bad luck with dried legumes recently. 🙁 I made this today with green lentils, soaked them for 3.5 hours before draining and adding to the tmx but after cooking they were still crunchy (temp was definitely on, the liquid was bubbling and steaming). I gave them another 10 minutes at 100ºC then let them sit in the thermoserver for about 15 minutes which helped a bit, but I was too hungry to wait any longer. 😉 Still delicious though!

I made this as my mum’s first thermomix meal and her first exclamation was ‘what a delicious hearty soup’. She now has your blog information and no doubt will be cooking up a Thermobexta storm in no time!
