Red Lentil Carrot And Roasted Red Pepper Soup


I made this soup by experimenting with ingredients i had on hand. It turned out to be very tasty! It is also very healthy.

Steps


Put the first 8 ingredients into a stock pot , or large saucepan , and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat , and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes , or until the vegetables and lentils are tender.
Use an immersion blender , and puree the soup until no lumps remain , or puree in batches in a food processor or blender.
Add the remaining ingredients , stir to blend , or use the immersion blender again , to get a nice smooth soup.
Taste to adjust any seasoning.
Bring it back to a simmer.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream , if desired.
