Nikdy jsem nebyla velkym fanouskem cockove polevky, ale tenhle recept, ktery sem si samozrejme upravila podle sveho, to rozhodne zmenil. Stale tomu rikam polevka, ale je pravda, ze v mem pripade to ma spise hustsi kasovitou strukturu. Pokud mate radeji ridke polevky, staci pridat 2 hrnky zeleninoveho vyvaru :)

3 lzice olivoveho oleje
1 lzicka mleteho cerneho pepre
1 lzicka mlete bazalky
1 lzicka chilli koreni
1 lzicka morske soli
stava z 1/2 citronu

+nastrouhany vegansky syr (nemusi byt)

Postup:
1) Ve velkem hrnci rozehrejeme olivovy olej.

2) Pridame nasekanou cibuli a varime cca 3 minuty.

3) Pridame rajcata, cesnek a bazalku a varime dalsich par minut (3-5), prubezne michame.

4) Pridame cocku, vyvar, nakrajenou papriku, sul,pepr a chilli.

6) Pridame stavu z pulky citronu, poradne promichame a varime dalsich 5 minut.

7) Pokud je potreba, dosolime a dopeprime a polevka je pripravena k servirovani. Pokud mate radi chut rozpoustejiciho se syru, na vrch nastrouhejte vegansky syr.

Jelikoz nemam k dispozici ceskou klavesnici a stale se mi ji nedari naisntalovat, omlouvam se ze pisu bez diaktritiky. Ale snad to neni tak tezke precist. Preji dobrou chut :)

Vegan Red Lentils Soup

I was never fan of lentils soup but this one changed my mind. I found the recipe on the internet and I changed it, as I always do. Even though I call it soup, it is kind of solid structure. If you like more thin soup, just add 2 more cups of vegetable stock. :)

Ingredients :
1 cup red lentils
5 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, minced
2 garlic gloves, minced
6 cups vegetable stock
1 red pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
juice from 1/2 lemon

+ grated vegan cheese (optional)

Instructions: 
1) Warm the olive oil in a large pot.

2) Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes.

3) Add the garlic, basil and tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes (3-5), stirring often.

4) Pour lentils, stock, pepper, salt, ground black pepper and chili powder.

5) Raise the heat and bring it to a boil.Once you reached boiling, reduce the heat to gentle shimmer and cook for 30 minutes.

6) Add lemon juice, stir it well and cook for 5 more minutes.

7) If necessary, add more salt and pepper and serve in small bowls. If you like the taste of melting cheese like I do, add grated vegan cheese and serve immediately.
