Instructions

Dice onion, carrot, and bell pepper (core and seeds removed).
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for about 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. vegetable broth or water for no-oil sauté method.)
Meanwhile, mince garlic.
Add garlic, smoked paprika, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and vegetable broth. Increase heat to high.
Meanwhile, rinse & drain lentils. Add to pot and stir.
Bring to a light boil, then decrease heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until lentils are cooked through.
Salt to taste. Serve as is or with cooked rice, quinoa, hot sauce, fresh parsley, etc.

Notes

Lentils: Feel free to use 1.5 cups all brown or 1.5 cups all red lentils if desired. (If using all red lentils, you can decrease the cook time to about 15-20 minutes.)
Flavors & seasoning: If you’re not a fan of smoked paprika, or would like to change up the flavor profile, try Italian seasoning (or basil/oregano) in place of smoked paprika.
