Directions
- Rinse your lentils for a few minutes in cold water to clean and get out the starch! Then set aside
- In a large pot add olive oil spray on a medium to high temperature
- Saute onions and mushrooms until golden brown
- *Tip * make ahead of time and keep in your freezer
- Saute garlic
- Add everything except the lemon juice to your pot
- Allow to cook for approximately 20 minutes or until cauliflower and lentil are soft and cooked well
- Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste
- Use your hand mixer to blend well! If you want it thinner add a bit of water/milk or cream!
- *If you use a blender only add soup halfway in order to avoid it from exploding !!!* Then repeat until all is blended!
- I like to cook all my soups at the lowest temperature for a few hours! The longer the more flavorful!!
EAT AND ENJOY!
