How to make Dal Soup<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients needed<\/span><\/p>\n

Onion chopped -1\/2 cup<\/span>
\n Garlic – 3 cloves<\/span>
\n Italian Tomatoes – 3\/4 cup chopped 1 (1lb) can of Italian tomatoes<\/span>
\n Dal\/lentils 1 cup (you can use masoor dal or moong dal or a mix the both the dals as I have done)<\/span>
\n Chilli powder -1\/2 tsp. OR red pepper flakes<\/span>
\n Salt to taste<\/span>
\n Pepper powder to taste<\/span>
\n Olive Oil – 3 TBS but I could not read my handwriting)<\/span>
\n 2 cups Chicken stock or Vegetable stock.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

INDIAN spices<\/strong> would be my choice of preference. Unlike the greens they need to be cooked with the onion stage.<\/span>
\n **For a more Indian flavor add turmeric, coriander powder, crushed cumin and mustard seeds. \u00bd tsp to 1 tsp of ea. They should be well crushed and added to the very beginning of the process.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>
\n<\/strong>Preparation: Rinse in cold water-colander.<\/span><\/span>
\n Soak dal for 15 minutes in hot water. (You can reduce the cooking time and fuel by soaking dal)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chop onion, tomatoes, garlic and keep it ready.<\/span>
\n Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan on high heat for one minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the<\/span> onion and red pepper flakes or chili powder.\u00a0Saut\u00e9 for one minute or until the onions become<\/span> translucent. Only then add the garlic. <\/span><\/p>\n

While cooking , drain the tomatoes, but reserve he juice. Chop<\/span> them up and add to the pan. (** At this point you could add the basil and parsley as well or wait until the next step.<\/span> Add the lentils, and cook for two minutes, stirring all the ingredients to blend together. Add the<\/span>
\n stock and the tomato juice – the salt and bring it to a boil.<\/span>
\n Reduce the temperature and simmer in a covered pot and cook for 30 minutes. Transfer \u00bd of the lentil<\/span> mixture to a blender (or all if you want a puree texture) Return to the pan cover and simmer for<\/span> another 10 minutes. A crock pot can also be used. The soup is ready when ALL the lentils are tender.<\/span>
\n Lentils have different cooking times so make your own judgment on this. Strain it using a strainer.<\/span>
\n Add pepper powder to taste and serve hot with sourdough bread.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note \u2013 do not use the pepper flakes or chili powder if feeding to a toddler.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garnish with Kale, Parsley, chopped green onions.<\/span><\/p>\n
