Cooking Instructions

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

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

Add Lentils and Broth

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

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

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

Garnish and Serve

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
