Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the carrots start to soften.

  3. 3

    Add the Spices

    Stir in the cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine the Lentils and Broth

    Add the red lentils, vegetable broth, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the soup has thickened.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
