Sea Moss and Bladderwrack Lentil Soup tastes savoury and includes a hint of spice. There’s an undertone of natural sweetness from the flavour base of onion, carrot and celery. The texture is thick and comforting while being delicious and made for dunking crusty bread.

Ingredients:

  • 1 dessert spoon of Sea Moss and Bladderwrack Powder or 1 tbsp of Sea Moss Gel
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped (white, brown, yellow)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large carrot , chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 2 celery ribs , chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 2 cups / 400g dried lentils , green or brown, rinsed
  • 400g / 14 oz crushed tomato
  • 1.5 litres / 1.5 quarts (6 cups) vegetable or chicken stock / broth, low sodium
  • 1/2 tsp each cumin and coriander powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika powder
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1 lemon (zest + juice)
  • 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, each

Directions:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add celery and carrot. Cook for 7 – 10 minutes or until softened and the onion is sweet. Don’t rush this step, it is key to the flavour base of the soup.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except the sea moss and bladderwrack, lemon and salt. Stir. 
  • Increase heat and bring to simmer. Scoop scum on the surface off and discard (do this again during cooking if required). Place lid on and turn heat down to medium low. Simmer for 35 – 40 minutes or until lentils are soft.
  • Thicken Soup: add sea moss and bladderwrack powder. Using a stick blender, do 2 or 3 quick whizzes to thicken the soup and blend the powder into the soup. (Use a spoon or whisk if you don’t have a stick blender)
  • Add a touch of water if you want to adjust soup consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve with warm crusty bread with or without butter.
