Spring is here but it is going to be sometime before I start making light salads and cold noodles for dinner again. Until then a hot bowl of soup is always welcome on those remaining wet chilly spring nights. YES! I did serve the panko crumbed sweet potato and lentil patties in a bowl of soup - a soup made from ingredients almost identical to the patties. If you have read any of my previous posts on soup, you should know how I love to add some texture to the smooth liquid. It is a rather peculiar idea to serve up a soup but it works famously well and I am extremely pleased with the result. Happy cooking and have a great weekend!
serves 4
you'll need;
500 g of sweet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
1.5 cups of red lentil, washed and soaked for an hour then drained
1 onion, chopped
2 L of stock
1 tbs of cumin powder
1 tbs of ginger powder
1 tbs of coriander powder
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
4 crumbed sweet potato and red lentil patties
Saute onion with a little oil then add in the spices and cook for 2 minutes.
Add stock, bay leaves and red lentil and cook on a low heat til both sweet potato and lentil are tender. Season well.

That is a nice addition!I will miss the hot creamy soups in summer.
ReplyDeleteI love using red lentils they cook up quickly and I love the texture. I like the idea of having more texture in a creamy soup too. Sometimes a little crisp pancceta or tortilla strips sprinkled on top, but the sweet potato lentil patty sounds wonderful! Such a creative idea!
