Creamy Lentil Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs oil
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup dried lentils
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 36 ounces broth turkey, chicken, or vegetable
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cups low fat or skim milk

Instructions

  • Heat the oil over medium heat and cook the carrots and onion 5-10 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the lentils, rice, salt, cumin, pepper, broth, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, stir, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes--until the lentils are tender.
  • Use a hand immersion blender to blend the soup or transfer it half at a time into your food processor or blender and blend a bit. I personally like it to still be a bit chunky so I didn't make it totally smooth.
  • Stir in the milk and heat over low until warmed through.
