For This Soup, You’ll Need Lentils, Carrots, Onions, Celery, Garlic, Vegetable Broth, Tomatoes, And Spices Like Cumin, Turmeric, And Bay Leaves.
Chop Your Onions, Garlic, Carrots, And Celery Into Small Pieces. This Combination Adds Flavor And Texture To The Soup Base.
In A Pot, Saute Onions, Garlic, Carrots, And Celery In Olive Oil Until Softened And Fragrant. This Creates The Flavor Foundation Of Your Soup.
Stir In Dried Lentils, Cumin, Turmeric, And Bay Leaves. The Spices Bring Warmth And Depth To The Soup, Perfectly Complementing The Lentils.
Add Vegetable Broth And Chopped Tomatoes To The Pot. Bring To A Simmer, Allowing The Lentils To Absorb The Rich Flavors.
Let The Soup Simmer For 25-30 Minutes, Or Until The Lentils Are Tender And Have Absorbed All The Spices And Flavors.
Taste The Soup And Adjust The Seasoning With Salt, Pepper, Or Additional Spices. A Squeeze Of Lemon Can Brighten The Flavors.
For A Smoother Texture, Blend Part Of The Soup Using An Immersion Blender, Leaving Some Lentils Whole For Added Texture.
Serve Hot, Garnished With Fresh Herbs Like Cilantro Or Parsley. A Slice Of Crusty Bread Makes The Perfect Accompaniment!
