Perfect Pairing: Hand chopper
I am a huge fan of soup, especially during fall and winter. As soon as I feel that first cool breeze of fall I start thinking of simmering pots of chili, soup and stews. I will be sharing a lot of my favorite fall soup recipes here throughout the season. This Spicy Coconut Lentil Soup made a great, light, mid-week dinner. It was easy to make, full of flavor, and it made my house smell quite inviting. It has some exotic flavors like chile peppers, coconut milk and ginger but was still very comforting. I will say that it was a hard subject to photograph!
The Perfect Pairing for this soup recipe is the popular hand chopper. Mine is from Pampered Chef. I personally enjoy chopping and dicing but sometimes I am just not in the mood, especially if I just want to move things along. I used the hand chopper for the fresh ginger, garlic and chiles in this recipe. I peeled the ginger and garlic and chopped them together. I seeded the peppers, sliced into chunks, and finished them off with the hand chopper. Chop chop!
