Orange-Scented Lentil Soup w/French Fridays with Dorie


Orange zest and ginger add unexpected deliciousness to lentil soup in this week's Dorie recipe.  I set it to simmer a few minutes ago, and the aroma of everything bubbling away on the stove is divine.  For serving, you purée the works and top with a dollop of yogurt and crisped bacon; now that can get me excited about lentils!

Definitely a fragrant bowl, though truly not my favorite version of lentil soup.

Your timing on the photo was spot on- the end result was less "happy" but the aroma more than offset it. Not sure I will put this one into much rotation but we enjoyed it and it inspired me to enjoy lentils more often.

Yes, the parts were much more attractive than the whole - but it was keeper.
