Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Rinse the Lentils

    In a sieve, rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes any dirt or debris.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

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

  5. 7

    Season the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lemon juice before serving.
