Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Place onion and garlic in mixer bowl. Chop 4 seconds/speed 5/MC on. Scrape down bowl.
  • Add oil. Saute 4 minutes/steaming temperature/speed 1/MC off.
  • Add coriander and cumin. Saute 1 minute/steaming temperature/speed 1/MC off.
  • Add capsicum, zucchini, carrot and celery. Chop 6 seconds/speed 6/MC on. Scrape down bowl.
  • Add tomatoes, lentils, stock, thyme, paprika and chilli. Add water, to reach 2L mark inside the bowl. Cook 25 minutes/100/speed 2/MC on.
  • Add lemon juice. Blend a little, 4 seconds/speed 6/MC on, ensuring you turn the speed dial up slowly. This will leave the soup with plenty of texture and thicken it up slightly.

Notes

1. Use the amount of chilli powder according to how spicy you want the soup. 1/8 tsp is a little spicy, 1/4 tsp is quite spicy. You can use even more, 1/2 tsp is very spicy (for me!) Chilli powder is quite potent so it's best to start with less and add more at the end if you'd like it spicier.
