Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  2. 2

    Add Spices and Tomato

    Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Soup

    Stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let the soup sit for a few minutes before serving.
