     Title: Lentil Tomato Soup
Categories: Five, Dairy, Vegetbles
     Yield: 4 servings

     4 tb Unsalted butter
 1 1/3 c  Heavy cream
     2 md Shallots; fine chopped
    28 oz Can whole tomatoes
    15 oz Can lentils; rinsed
          Salt

 In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
 Carefully add 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a boil over
 medium-high. Reduce the temperature to medium and
 simmer, occasionally stirring for 5 minutes, until the
 cream thickens, reduces to about a third of its initial
 volume, and resembles melted cheese while developing
 brown bits around the pot.

 Add the shallots and continue stirring for 4 to 5
 minutes, until there's very little cream at the bottom
 and caramelized brown bits all around the sides of the
 pot.

 Add the tomatoes and their juices, crushing them with
 your hands as you add them to the pot, or crush them
 inside the pot, using a potato masher. Add the lentils,
 2 cups of water and a big pinch of salt to season all
 the liquid. Scrape the brown bits off the bottom and
 sides of the pot into the liquid, using a wooden spoon
 or spatula.

 Bring to a boil over medium-high. Partly cover the pot
 with a lid and boil, stirring occasionally, for 15
 minutes. Add the remaining ? cup of cream and season
 with more salt, if needed.

 Serve right away, or blend the soup using an immersion
 blender until as creamy as desired.
