Lame name but I made up this yummy soup yesterday and since it's red and green mainly, thought that worked. All the measurements are approximate since I don't measure anything when making soup. I don't think you can really mess it up.
1 cup dried green split peas
1 cup dried red lentils
1 large onion, very finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped (I love garlic)
4 large carrots cut into coins
1-2 T olive oil
2-3 T soy sauce or tamari
2 cubes of sodium-free vegan bouillion or container of veggie broth
1 teaspoon each of the following: curry powder, turmeric, powdered ginger, coriander and cumin
Saute the onions/garlic in the oil until slighly soft then add all the spices and saute until the mixture is a yellowish color and smells really good. Add the bouillion and mash int onion/garlic mixture. Add the all the beans. Add water so that the water covers the beans by about 2 inches. If adding broth, add all of it to do the same or supplement with water. Add the carrots. Cook until the beans are soft, about 1/2 hour. Add the soy sauce/tamari.
I cooked the soup with 5 dried shitake mushrooms. I like the flavor and eating the shrooms but I don't think it makes much of a difference.
