Description

I had never had cashews in soup until I tried a delicious tomato lentil soup with cashews at a local health food store. I thought it was SO delicious! This is my attempt at recreating it.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 whole Medium Onions, Finely Chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Garam Marsala
  • 2 quarts Homemade, Or Low-sodium Chicken Broth
  • 2 whole (14 1/2 Oz. Size) Petite Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 pound Red Lentils, Picked Over & Rinsed
  • 2 stalks Celery Finely Chopped
  • 1 whole Medium Carrot, Finely Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ⅛ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 cups Roasted Cashews

Preparation

Heat the oil, over medium heat, in a large Dutch oven, or heavy stockpot. Add in the chopped onions and a generous pinch of salt and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garam marsala and cook, stirring constantly, for an additional minute.

Add the chicken broth, tomatoes (with their juices), lentils, celery, carrots, garlic, cayenne, salt and water. Turn the heat up to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Stir in the cashews and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender. Check the soup for seasonings and add some additional kosher salt if needed. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
