Don’t Use the Grinding Cylinder
30 minutes
4 servings
Ingredients
- 2.1 oz (60 grams) of onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 MioMat cups of red lentils
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- salt and pepper to taste

- To garnish
- fresh coriander
Instructions
- Soak the lentils for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Cut onions and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Put all the ingredients into the MioMat.
- Pour cold water between the MIN (1100ml) and MAX (1300ml) lines indicated inside the MioMat.
- Remove the grinding cylinder by turning it in the UNLOCK direction on the grinding cylinder. If you skip this step, your soup may have some big, unblended pieces.
- Close the MioMat. Don’t worry if there is a little gap between the top and the bottom, it’s there to let the steam come out when cooking.
- Plug in the MioMat.
- Choose the Chunky Soup program by pressing the select button.
- Press the start button.
- After 30 minutes, MioMat will start beeping. This means your soup is done.
- Unplug the MioMat and then open it.
- Enjoy your freshly made red lentil soup.
Questions people ask
Is it 2 MioMat cups or 2 regular cups of lentils?
2 MioMat cups, measured with the cup that comes with MioMat. One MioMat cup is about half of a regular US cup, so that is about 1 regular cup of dry red lentils.
Do I really need to soak the red lentils?
Yes. Soak them in water for about 4 hours before you start. Without soaking, the MioMat can't cook red lentils all the way through in one program.
How much soup does it make?
About 4 servings.

Do you really have to soak the red lentils for four hours? I’ve never soaked red lentils, or is it because it’s in the mio mat ?
Also does the recipe call for two actual cups or two meal mat cups of red lentils? Thank you
By “regular cups” in the Red Lentil recipe, do you mean two 250ml cups or 2 MimMat cups?
Step 12 of the Red Lentil Soup recipe says: “Enjoy your freshly made creamy cauliflower soup”
