A delightful and nutritious soup made with carrots, red lentils, and spices, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Red Lentils
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  2. Add the carrots and spices: Stir in the diced carrots, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots begin to soften.
  3. Add lentils and broth: Pour in the red lentils and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils and carrots are tender.
  4. Blend the soup: Once cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and stir.
  5. Season to taste: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. If you want to elevate the flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.
  6. Serve warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy with your favorite bread or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.

Notes

Cook lentils separately for firmer texture. Adjust texture by blending longer for creaminess or reducing broth for thickness.
