Útmutatók

1. Heat Bratöl in your pan

2. When just hearing add your garlic ans cook it stationary in pool of oil as the pan finishes to heat up, push them around once with utensil

3. Now add chopped onions, cook, stirring intermittently until translucent. Also add some herbs at this stage

4. Now add carrots 🥕 and celery, intermittently stir and cook until starting to soften

5. By now the pan should be browning which indicates it is time to 'deglaze'

Add the olive oil, onions, celery, carrots, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Do not brown; reduce heat if necessary. Add the tomatoes (with their juices), broth, lentils, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover partially, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the lentils are tender, 45 to 50 minutes (see note on cooking time if using common brown or green lentils). Fish out the bay leaves and discard.

Jegyzetek

Meat notes:

If cooking with Bacon: Fry the bacon in a large pot over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.

Freezer notes:

Make-Ahead/Freezing Instructions: You can prepare this soup up to 3 days in advance, or freeze it for up to 3 months for longer storage. To defrost, let the soup thaw in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to serve, reheat the soup on the stovetop over medium heat until it's thoroughly hot. If you find the soup has thickened more than you'd like during its time in the fridge or freezer, simply stir in a little water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

Viscosity:

This liquid will thicken as it sits for cooling.
