Lentil Soup With Caramelized Onion

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large finely chopped onion (use only half for soup)
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoon ground brown rice (for thickening use coffee grinder to grind the rice)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup lentils, picked and rinsed
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups of water
1 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Whole Spice Soup Base Spice
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon coriander seed ground
1 teaspoon cumin ground
1 teaspoon of black pepper ground
teaspoon chili cayenne (optional)


Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. Once hot, add one half onion and saut until onions are translucent. Then add carrot, celery, and salt and saut for approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Add the spices and tomato paste and mix for 2 minutes. Next, add lentils, parsley, cilantro, and the ground brown rice and stir to combine. Add the vegetable broth and water. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree to your preferred consistency.
While the soup is cooking use a separate pan to caramelize the other half of onion. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil and butter in a saut pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Add the caramelized onion to the soup when ready. Mix and serve with toasted bread.
