Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 medium carrots, diced

  • 1.5 cups dry red lentils, rinsed

  • 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional garnish: Fresh cilantro, chopped lemon zest, crusty bread

Directions

  • 1. Saute the Base:
    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook for 5 minutes until they get soft. Add some garlic and cook for a minute more until it smells nice.
  • 2. Embrace the Veggies:
    Add diced carrots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, sometimes stirring, until they get a bit soft.
  • 3. Simmer for Soul:
    Put lentils, broth, cumin and turmeric into the mix. Increase the heat, then decrease it. Cover and cook slowly for about 20-25 minutes until lentils are soft.
  • 4. Blend to Perfection:
    For a smooth soup, use a stick blender or put the mix in a blender and blend until it’s as smooth as you like. Use salt and pepper as required to make it taste good.

Tips:

  • Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat, or swap cumin for curry powder for an Indian twist.
  • Creamy Dreamy: Add a bit of coconut milk or yogurt to make it creamier.
  • Leafy Love: Add some spinach or kale to make it better for health and give it a bright green color.
  • Soup-erb Leftovers: This soup tastes even better after a day! Store extra food in a closed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
