Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Rinse the lentils under cold water and set aside. Dice the carrots, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

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

3

Add Garlic and Spices

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Combine Lentils and Broth

Add the rinsed lentils, canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.

5

Simmer the Soup

Bring the soup 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.

6

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Enjoy your hearty lentil soup!
