Butter Bean and Lentil Soup (In A Soup Maker)

This butter bean and lentil soup is a healthy, hearty option that will warm you up from the inside out. Plus, it’s easy to make in a soup maker and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients.

Having a handy standby collection of tins in the cupboards is always useful. It means that you can put some of them together, with some stock, and make a filling and nutritious soup.

How To Make Butter Bean and Lentil Soup

When combined, cooked and blended, butter beans and lentils create a substantially thick soup. If you prefer a soup with a thinner consistency, you will need to reduce the amount of lentils and increase the stock slightly.

What You Need:

The quantities below fit a Ninja Soup Maker perfectly to create a thick and filling soup.

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 400g tin butter beans, drained
• 100g red split lentils, washed
• 300g/400g passata
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 x vegetable stock pot + hot water up to the line
• 1/2 tsp crushed red chillies (optional)

I have also previously made this recipe in a Morphy Richards Soup Maker; the only difference was I added an extra 20g of split red lentils as this model of soup maker is slightly larger.

This recipe, like my other soup maker recipes, can be made in any soup maker model.

Making It:

If you have a soup maker with a saute function, you can optionally add a little oil or butter and gently fry the onions and garlic.

Drain and rinse the butter beans and add them to the soup maker jug. Then, rinse the red lentils until the water runs clear before adding them to the soup maker.

Add the remaining ingredients, including the vegetable stock pot, and pour boiling water up to the maximum line of your soup maker.

Set the soup maker off on smooth.

At the end of the soup maker cycle, taste the soup and add some seasoning if required. Serve as it is or with some of your favourite soup toppings.

I hope you enjoyed this soup; let me know in the comments if you make it!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 onion chopped
• 1 clove garlic crushed
• 400 g tin butter beans drained
• 100 g red split lentils washed
• 300 g/400g passata
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 x vegetable stock pot + hot water up to the line
• 1/2 tsp crushed red chillies optional

Instructions

 

• Optional: Sauté onion & garlic in the soup maker in some oil or butter. 
• Switch off sauté and add all remaining ingredients. Make sure there is enough stock to prevent the lentils or passata from sticking to the base of the soup maker.
• Set off on smooth.
• Season if required according to taste.

Notes

Important: I have been told in the past that some people have experienced burning at the bottom of some soup maker models with certain recipes.

The common ingredients each time are lentils and passata (or tinned tomatoes). I haven’t had this issue, but I believe it is due to insufficient stock in the soup maker to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
For this reason, I would suggest you always add a little oil to the base to start with, as well as make sure that there is enough stock, and mix everything before setting it off.
