HOT POTATO AND LENTIL SOUP WITH SAFFRON AND ORANGE
2-3 servings
2 big potatoes
100 ml/0.42 cup red lentils
1 small onion
Chili pepper
A pinch of ground saffron
1 orange
750 ml/3.2 cup vegetable stock
Extra-virgin olive oil
- Peel and slice the potatoes very finely. Chop the onion and braise it in some olive oil with a little chili pepper until the onion is transparent.
- Add the potatoes and braise on for a couple of minutes when you add the lentils. Stir all the time.
- After about 1 minute of stirring you add the stock and leave it to simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the saffron and simmer until the lentils are soft and mushy. Now you can either whisk the soup briskly or blend it with a blender of some sort to make the soup thick. - Squeeze the orange and add the juice to the soup before serving.
