Directions

  1. Saute/fry the onions in extra virgin olive oil; season with salt, pepper and sugar. Saute/fry till golden brown (10 min).
  2. Deglaze the pan with white wine. Sprinkle onions with paprika and stir till paprika is warmed. Add in tarragon and vegetable flakes; stir.
  3. Add in water, bouillon, tomato paste, cooked lentils and barley. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 min. Add in more tarragon and additional water to thin the soup to your preference. Serve warm with a biscuit.
  4. Warm PAPRIKA: Add in a healthy pinch of cayenne pepper to sweet paprika.
  5. MICROWAVE BARLEY: 1 measure of rinsed barley, 2.5 measures water, healthy pinch salt. Microwave in rice-steamer fitted with inner lid for 15 min, turning every 5 min. Let sit 5 min. Drain.
  6. Description: "Lentils, barley and onions with sweet tarragon and warm paprika"
  7. Serving Ideas : Garnish with mixed sprouts. Biscuits made with a little egg, dry tarragon and roasted garlic granules.
  8. NOTES : The aroma of this thick, brown soup, is enticing. The first taste lacks depth. It's a little sweet. A little warm. A little chewy. But soon the flavors blend and deliver what the aroma promised. Very interesting soup with wonderful after-tastes. Do not be shy with the tarragon.
