Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup) 1 stalk celery, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 1 medium carrot, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 3 sprigs thyme, plus more for garnish Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 cup brown lentils, rinsed and drained 4 cups chicken broth 1/2 head cauliflower, cored, trimmed, and cut into small florets (about 3 cups) 3 ounces Gruyere and/or Parmesan cheese, shredded (1 cup)

Directions

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add lentils and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in cauliflower, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer just until cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove thyme; season with salt and pepper.

Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Divide soup among 4 broilerproof ramekins or soup bowls. Top with cheese and broil until golden and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with thyme and serve immediately.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/20/2017   Absolutely delicious; sauteed the veggies and brought everything to a boil, add swiss chard, and finished it all in a crockpot. when we were ready , broiled it under the oven with the cheese.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/18/2016   This looks great, but if you market this as a vegetarian recipe, it should use veggie broth, not chicken broth! An easy substitution, but you might change the recipe. Will taste just as good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/16/2014   I loved this soup. I used half of the olive oil, but did splurge on the Gruyere cheese (sprinkled rather than broiled). As a leftover for lunch, I accidently forgot the cheese, and it was still delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/22/2013   Super easy and yummy. I had some swiss chard on hand so I chopped it and added with the lentils. I didn't broil the cheese, just sprinkled parm on top and it was still good. I made it with a box of veggie broth and added 2 more cups at the end to make it more brothy and added a little more salt to taste.
