Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion and chop the carrots into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Carrots and Spices

    Add the chopped carrots to the pot along with cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 4

    Cook the Lentils

    Add the red lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

  4. 5

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until desired consistency is reached. You can also blend in batches using a stand blender.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
