This recipe includes superfoods such as:

Apple Cider Vinegar

Ingredients

1 tablespoon lard or grapeseed oil
1 white onion, cut into half-moons 1/4-in. thick
2 green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-in. dice
1 serrano chile, stemmed, halved lengthwise, and cut into thin half-moons
6 cups Bar Tartine Chicken Broth or storebought reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
25 peeled Black Garlic cloves, homemade or storebought, or use roasted regular garlic*
8 dried arbol chiles or 1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
3 ripe medium-size tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
4 cups Sprouted Black Lentils or 1 3/4 cups regular dried black lentils
12 ounces dry-cured paprika sausage, such as Hungarian gyulai* or Spanish chorizo, or pepperoni
12 garlic cloves, finely chopped
12 ounces button mushrooms, sliced thin
2 bay leaves
1 to 2 tbsp. hot Hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Black pepper
1 cup roasted red peppers, cut into 1-in. chunks
Sour cream, chopped green onions, and chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Instructions

Heat a large cast-iron frying pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water flicked on the surface sizzles. Melt lard in pan and add onion, bell peppers, and serrano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are well charred on the edges but not blackened, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then chop coarsely.
In a blender, combine 2 cups broth, the black garlic, and arbol chiles. Purée until smooth.
Cut sausage into quarters lengthwise, then thickly crosswise. Put in a large pot and add black garlic purée, remaining 4 cups broth, tomatoes, lentils, garlic, mushrooms, and bay leaves. Bring almost to a simmer over medium heat, covered (do not let boil). Add paprika, peppers, and charred vegetables and simmer gently, covered, until lentils begin to fall apart and thicken the soup, about 20 minutes more. Discard bay leaves. Stir in vinegar and salt, and season to taste with black pepper.
Ladle soup into bowls and top each with sour cream, green onions, and cilantro.
*Buy black garlic at blackgarlicna. com. Or, roast garlic: slice off tops of whole heads, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil Roast at 400 ° until soft, about 1 hour. To use, squeeze pulp out of cloves. Find Hungarian gyulai at bende. com.
Make ahead: Up to 4 days, chilled.
