Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    Add the sliced chorizo to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Liquids and Lentils

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed lentils. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the soup has thickened slightly.

  2. 6

    Final Touches

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
