How to Prepare Brown Lentil, Bean, and Rice Soup [Vegan]
- With fine meshed sieve, rinse lentils and rice, then soak them in water. Set these aside.
- Prepare, chop and measure all remaining ingredients having them ready to go.
- Heat up olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the carrots, celery, tomatoes, bay leaves and rosemary. Cook stirring often for 7 to 8 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add a little water if it sticks.
- Strain the rice and lentils and add to the pot and toss gently.
- Add the cooked beans, cumin, paprika and toss gently. Cook for 2 minutes tossing regularly so that the ingredients and flavours merge.
- Add the veggie broth or bouillon (start with 8 cups and add more later if necessary) and stir well. Partially cover and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, until the rice and lentils are cooked. Stir the soup from time to time.
- Remove and transfer two cups of the soup mixture (leaving aside the rosemary sprig and bay leaves) into the bowl of a small blender or Nutribullet. Blend until creamy and pour this back into the soup pot. Mix well. The soup will get thicker.
- Add the lemon zest and juice and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency and taste by adding extra broth/bouillon or water.
- Remove from heat and let the soup settle for 10 minutes. Serve in bowls with crusty bread, a cheese tray or other side dishes or condiments.
Notes
* Adjust the lemon as you prefer. Add more water or broth If you find that it tastes too lemony.
