I also made it for the second time this week. When I first read the recipe ingredients it didn't sound that tasty, but the lemon and the cheese makes it really delicious.

Am trying out soup recipes from the Forum.  I made this tonight. Delicious especially with the marinated prawns.

This is a really good review for my friend who is trying to decide between the cook processor and the TMX. I have passed it on to her.

I am on the lookout for new soup recipes at the moment and since Thermomixer's recipes are usually very good, I tried this for dinner tonight. We did not have cream on top and for topping I cooked some prawns and sundried tomatoes in a little olive oil and voila...a yummy delicious filling meal.

This is a recipe distributed by my wonderful TMX consultant, Lynette McDonald, who in turn, attributes the recipe to Maria Stuart. Thank you Maria. The soup is delicious. Added bonus: vegetarian and filling!
 
Ingredients                                                     
200g French Green Lentils
100g Parmesan- large cubes
50g olive oil or butter
1 clove Garlic, peeled
1 large Leek or 2 small cut into approx 3 cm chunks
4 sprigs Thyme
Handful Italian Parsley
2 Carrots, peeled cut into 3
250 g Sweet Potato, peeled cut into large chunks
Few handfuls of baby Spinach or shredded Silverbeet
1.2 litres water
TM Vegetable Stock concentrate       Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of one lemon

Method
 
Place TM Basket into TM Bowl and set scales – weigh lentils remove TM basket and soak lentils in cold water.

Place parmesan into TM Bowl and set to speed 9 for 5 seconds – remove from TM Bowl and place in small serving dish.

Place parsley into TM Bowl – speed 7 for 10 seconds – remove from TM Bowl and set aside

Place carrots and sweet potato into TM Bowl  - speed 4 for 7 – 10 seconds till evenly chopped – remove from TM Bowl and set aside

Add strained lentils, carrots, sweet potato, water, stock concentrate and thyme sprigs to TM Bowl, set timer for 40 minutes, temperature 100* speed 1.5 reverse
Remove lid and using TM Spatula – remove thyme stalks (they should appear when you mix the soup upwards in the TM Bowl)

Add chopped parsley, black pepper to taste and lemon juice – If using shredded silverbeet, add this now. Place lid on TM Bowl and mix speed 1.5 reverse for 10 seconds (if necessary you can cook silverbeet for a few minutes) If using baby spinach leaves, place a small handful into each bowl you are going to serve.

Pour soup onto baby spinach leaves and sprinkle with parmesan.
Enjoy.

NOTE: lentils require shorter cooking time if they have longer soaking time prior to cooking

Judy's  soup was a winner as was the caramelised onions made in the SC...will be doing it this way and freezing some from now on.

I am making caramelised onions in the slow cooker (first time) and will be interested in how it turns out. I plan to sprinkle this on Judy's Moroccan carrot and lentil soup - along with some feta cheese. Perfect dinner item on a cold wintry night.

Lachy, I think you may have something really useful here. I put in a query for soups and loved the way the recipe title, photo and reviews came up. Well done. Look forward to seeing all the improvements.
