Lentil Minestrone Preparation
Heat the oil in a wide soup pot with onion. Saute over high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, parsley, garlic, vegetables and salt to taste and cook 3 minutes more. Add the lentils, bay leaves, parsley, thyme and water or stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Taste for salt and season with pepper. If it needs more depth, add mushroom soy sauce to taste, starting with 1 tb. Remove bay leaves, parsley and thyme. Boil the greens in salted water until tender and bright green and then drain and chop coarsely. Just before serving, add the greens and the pasta to the soup and heat through. Serve with extra-virgin olive oil drizzled into each bowl, a generous grind of pepper and the Parmesan. Per serving (without drizzled olive oil): 395 cal; 8 gr fat; 18% fat. Source: Deborah Madison”s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. The Miami Herald. MM Waldine Van Geffen vghc42a@prodigy.com.
