I like my lentil soup chunky but did not want to be biting on a peppercorn or an orange peel. I used an immersion blender, ate the entire batch myself over the course of a week, and never tasted anything but a lovely chunky lentil soup. I admire your day-of-cooking. Bravo. I have never made sunchokes before but keep reading about it so would like to try them. Pan-fried sunchokes, hmmm.Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-79138937108705292492013-03-17T18:54:14.594-07:002013-03-17T18:54:14.594-07:00I think there is something in the air (snow, actua...I think there is something in the air (snow, actually lately) where I have been cooking quite a bit as well. Funny because usually I am more compelled when the weather turns cold rather than as Spring is upon us- but I have enjoyed the process nonetheless, as has my family. FFWD's is always an adventure and we did enjoy this soup. I would not have tried the citrus or ginger combo were it not for Dorie's recipe. tricia s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06247980519576579740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-4124893072130841492013-03-16T18:53:45.772-07:002013-03-16T18:53:45.772-07:00I had the same issue with this soup.

I do prefer my lentil soup chunky, so I'm not sure how to deal with the spices and have the preferred texture. Probably will just move on to another recipe next time. (So nice to see you after a long time.)Betsyhttp://aplatefulofhappiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-5135987640326068022013-03-16T04:10:47.726-07:002013-03-16T04:10:47.726-07:00You were busy!

I've just never done that, probably good because I have a bad back. I found the whole pureeing thing annoying. I think if the herbs were grinded and the orange just zested it would have had the same great flavor with a lot less work and it would have looked nicer.Diane Balchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354023885009559689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-17171958490858806242013-03-15T11:37:30.494-07:002013-03-15T11:37:30.494-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Diane Balchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354023885009559689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-14031186497204282402013-03-15T10:30:46.189-07:002013-03-15T10:30:46.189-07:00Jora, you were cooking up a storm on the weekend -...Jora, you were cooking up a storm on the weekend - respect. Somehow I always manage to get things done only at the very last possible moment. Be that as it may, how nice that you enjoyed this Lentil Soup and I must agree with you, chunky is better when it comes to lentil soups, I opted to purée only a portion of the soup and it certainly does look more pleasing to the eye but I am sure that it tastes wonderful either way. So nice to see that you found the time to participate!<br />Have a good weekend!Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-84340723761741820152013-03-15T08:24:01.623-07:002013-03-15T08:24:01.623-07:00Looks delicious, inspiring ... i must try to pair ...Looks delicious, inspiring ... i must try to pair lentils with oranges & ginger sometime <br />h.Hana Carltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247751186655764352noreply@blogger.com
