Green Lentil Cream Soup with Mussels

Your loved ones will be wowed by this dish—and it's no trouble at all for you! We're a thoroughly "seafood" family; seafood never leaves our fridge. Recently I was making my usual lentil cream soup and wondered how to switch things up next time. The idea came from a friend who, it turns out, often makes cream soup with mussels. A great, simple recipe with a touch of French cuisine. I used the dry white wine we usually drink (this isn't the place to skimp).

    1. Cover the lentils with water and set them to cook; while they simmer, deal with the mussels. 2. Thaw the mussels right in their bag, without opening it. 3. Peel the onion and cut it into medium pieces. Start sautéing it in the olive oil. 4. Trim one celery stalk and cut it into small slices. 5. Add the celery to the onion and cook over low heat. Add the seasonings: turmeric, marjoram, oregano, and the pepper blend. Cook the mixture until the onion turns golden. 6. Pour half a bottle of dry white wine into the vegetables, bring to a boil, and let it bubble briefly to cook off the alcohol. 7. Season with salt and balance the flavor with a little sugar—you want a sweet-and-sour sauce. 8. Add the mussels along with the water from the bag, let the mixture come to a boil, and turn it off. 9. Drain the liquid from the cooked lentils into a separate bowl. 10. Put the lentils, seafood, and sauce into a blender. Purée the soup, adding a bit of the reserved lentil liquid to reach the consistency you want. Serve hot with parsley and sour cream alongside a glass of good white wine. Enjoy!
