Red Lentil and Sole Soup
Tonight’s supper was Red Lentil Soup, to which I added some nice big chunks of Sole fish. Again, a quick and easy meal, perfect for a cold winter night.
Here’s how to do it:
Ingredients
(for 2-3 servings)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup red lentil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 150g Sole Fillets, in large chunks
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- Salt, Pepper, Dried Oregano, Dried Basil, Red Chili Flakes (about ΒΌ tsp each)
Directions
- In a saucepan, saute the onion (use a splash of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking) until nice and golden, about 2 minutes. Add seasonings and lentils and stir to coat.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add fish, simmer for an extra 5 minutes and serve.
- Garnish with a dollop of low fat sour cream if desired.

Hello! Are green lentils ok? And, did you soak them overnight first?
Thank you!
Green lentils are a totally different animal, Angela. I would not recommend it…
Simple but good recipe! I added celery and carrots.
Thank you Sonia!
You are very welcome, Christiane, and thank YOU for the great feedback, I sincerely appreciate it! π
I have a can of lobster stock I’m trying to use in something. How do you think it would do in place of the vegetable broth?
Most probably!
