March 12, 2014 By Jittery Cook 12 Comments

Only one more week of winter! Let’s get the party started! This is all the appetizer you will need to put everyone in a good mood. Kids at the table? No problem, just serve them Virgin Mary Lentil Soup. Tastes fantastic either way.

Bloody Mary Lentil Soup

Bloody Mary Lentil Soup 

  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 celery root, peeled and chopped
  • 1 c red lentils
  • 6 c tomato juice, plus a cup of water
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 t sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the onions and garlic and sauté for several minutes, until softened. Add the lentils, celery root, tomato juice, thyme and seasoning. Bring to a simmer then continue cooking for 20-25 minutes, until lentils and celery root are softened. Remove the thyme sprigs.

    Now that’s something I could wrap my mouth around. Love the lentil! Even better when you liquor it up.

      Huge snow storm here today. May hit the bottle and worry about the lentils later!

    Sounds yummy – do you think it would work with Clamato juice? if yes, throw in some worcestershire sauce and you could have a uniquely Canadian version!

      Excellent idea!!! I thought of Bloody Caesar Lentil Soup first, but wanted it to be more versatile for the vegetarian, vegan, kosher set.

    Now this is a grownup tomato/lentil soup. What a great idea.

      It is truly a crowd pleaser. Virgin Mary Lentil Soup is excellent too. So easy to prepare and I get a kick out of the vodka part. I’ve always loved a really good Bloody Mary or Bloody Caesar. The celery root seals the deal!!
