SUMMARY:Make Lentil Tomato Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb to make a Lentil Tomato Soup (based on this recipe from the New York Times.) After completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nLentil Tomato Soup\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\n3/4 cup unsalted butter\n5 ⅓ cups heavy cream\n8 medium shallots\, finely chopped\n4 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes\n4 (15-ounce) cans lentils\, rinsed\n8 cups of water\nSalt\n\nInstructions\n\n\nIn a medium pot over medium heat\, melt the butter. Carefully add 4 cups heavy cream and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce the temperature to medium and simmer\, occasionally stirring for 5 minutes\, until the cream thickens\, reduces to about a third of its initial volume\, and resembles melted cheese while developing brown bits around the pot.\nAdd the shallots and continue stirring for 4 to 5 minutes\, until there’s very little cream at the bottom and caramelized brown bits all around the sides of the pot.\nAdd the tomatoes and their juices\, crushing them with your hands as you add them to the pot\, or crush them inside the pot\, using a potato masher. Add the lentils\, 8 cups of water and a big pinch of salt to season all the liquid. Scrape the brown bits off the bottom and sides of the pot into the liquid\, using a wooden spoon or spatula.\nBring to a boil over medium-high. Partly cover the pot with a lid and boil\, stirring occasionally\, for 15 minutes. Add the remaining 1 ⅓ cup of cream and season with more salt\, if needed.\nServe right away\, or blend the soup using an immersion blender until as creamy as desired.\n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
