Red lentils are perfect for weeknights, or whenever you're in a hurry to get a meal on the table. Due to how they're processed, de-husked, and split before packaging, they cook up quicker than any other variety of legumes, although they are slightly lower in fiber than the larger whole.

Salty Pirate's Red Lentil Soup step by step

1. To create the Black Bean Stock: state with 1 lb dry black beans. I recommend against pre-soaking to capture full flavor, but pre-soak will cut time in half. Wash in cold water for 3-5 minutes, drain off (pre-soak 8-12 hours optionally at this point save water if so). Bring to a full boil in a large pot for 15 minutes, strain any foam off. Lower to a medium simmer and add ground pepper. (The beans will boil over easily so keep an eye on them). After 30-45 minutes test a bean, if it's starting to tender (fully chewable) then lower to low simmer and add salt. After about 90-120 minutes total beans should be done (will vary). Scoop out beans or pour through a civ to save boil water as stock..
2. Place dry split red lentils in the hot stock and bring up to a low boil (you may need to add some additional water as needed)..
3. While the lentils are boiling in a separate pan sauté chopped/diced red onion and garlic in butter (I used goats milk butter for a lighter creamy taste). Sauté until well browned and caramelized. Remove from heat..
4. When lentils have been boiling for 20 minutes add sautéed garlic/onions and mix in all of the spices. Lower temp and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure spices infuse and no beans are sticking to the pot..

It was bland which I expected.We just added salt and pepper to each bowl to suit each of us.I don't even use the reduced sodium broths as we find them too salty.

Unless you used a salty broth, you will likely need to salt generously, until the the soup no longer tastes flat.Serve each bowl topped with almonds, olives, feta.Harissa or other hot pepper paste, to taste.This fast and easy lentil soup can be garnished with fried pita, like croutons.Working in batches, puree the soup.
