 We are having this a lot this winter.  Brown lentils are easy to find, and inherently tasty. The rice in this soup version adds some chewiness. Preposterously satisfying meal from simple ingredients.

Ingredients:
One cup brown lentils
One third cup brown rice (If you prefer, omit the rice and add 1/2 cup dried pasta at the end until cooked)
One medium carrot, grated
One medium yellow or red onion, chopped
Three cloves garlic, minced
Three tablespoons olive oil
Two teaspoons salt, one teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
One 8 oz can of tomato sauce
One cup chopped cilantro
5 cups water (best with Vegetable Stock)
Grated Parmesan and cilantro for garnish, with an olive oil drizzle.

Directions:
In your soup pot saute the onions, carrots and garlic in the olive oil until soft, Add the water, lentils, rice, tomato sauce, salt and pepper and cayenne, and bring to a boil. (You can mix all the dry ingredients  in one of your serving bowls while the vegetables are cooking, to save time.)
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook at least 45 minutes. You want the lentils to be mushy and the soup thick. Add most of the cilantro for the last 10 minutes.
Serve with Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and cilantro.

Lentils and Rice Soup... such a crisp locution, rolls right off the tongue.

This is a staple of my diet in the winter, so cozy and comforting on a cold Nantucket night. Simple, yet incredibly satisfying. Thanks, Tom.

Good choice for this cold. I am liking the Potato/Bean/ Kalamata and the Lemony Red Lentil Soup these days too.
