Ingredients

2 boxes of Gen V cherry tomatoes

1 block of feta cheese (200 g)

1 whole head of garlic

5 ml (1 tsp) chili flakes

5 ml (1 tsp) herbes de Provence

5 ml (1 tsp) smoked paprika

250 ml (1 cup) dry red lentils

5 to 6 cups vegetable broth, depending on desired consistency

2 bay leaves

Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Preparation

  1. In a baking dish, arrange the cherry tomatoes. Place the block of feta in the center. Add the whole head of garlic (not peeled), chili flakes, herbes de Provence, smoked paprika, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the tomatoes are roasted and lightly caramelized, and the feta is golden brown.
  3. Meanwhile, rinse the red lentils with cold water.
  4. Transfer the contents of the roasted dish to a large saucepan. Add the lentils, vegetable broth and bay leaves.
  5. Squeeze the head of garlic to extract the roasted cloves, then add to the soup. Mix.
  6. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft.
  7. Remove the bay leaves, then puree the soup until smooth using a blender (immersion or traditional).
  8. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.
