Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Jalapeno

    Stir in the minced garlic and diced jalapeno, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Lentils and Spices

    Add the whole organic lentils, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, cumin, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot.
