Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Add the minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Lentils and Broth

    Add the red lentils, canned diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

  5. 5

    Blend (Optional)

    For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. You can blend it all or leave some chunks for texture.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
