Roasted Eggplant and Lentil Soup

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 small eggplants quartered
  • 3 plum tomatoes quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 leek sliced
  • 2 celery ribs finely chopped
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 ½ cups lentils
  • 2 tablespoons ras el hanout
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • 1 container Yoplait Greek blended coconut yogurt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450ºF. Arrange the eggplant, tomatoes, and garlic in a single layer on a baking sheet; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast 20 minutes or until very tender. Scoop the pulp out of the eggplant and discard the peel. Chop the tomatoes and garlic to form a chunky sauce.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the carrot, leek and celery and cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the chicken stock, water, lentils, and ras el hanout. Cover and let simmer 30 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Stir in the eggplant, chopped tomatoes and lemon juice and cook an additional 10 minutes. Stir in parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Serve soup topped with a generous dollop of coconut yogurt (or just stir it right into the whole pot).
