Ingredients
- 1 cup brown lentils
- 2 carrot finely chopped
- 1 onion diced
- 1 bell pepper quartered
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp. neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp. Moroccan spice blend or to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Place your quartered bell pepper on a baking sheet and place under your oven’s broiler for 3-5 minutes on high, turning once or twice. Once roasted, remove from oven and chop.
- Meanwhile, heat a 3-quart or larger Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add your oil. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds or until fragrant, then add your carrots and onion. Let cook for 3-4 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add chopped roasted bell pepper to the mixture.
- Stir in your lentils and Moroccan spices and stir to combine. Let cook for 60 seconds, stirring occasionally, to toast the spices.
- Add your water and bring the contents to a boil. Let boil for 2-3 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes or until lentils are very soft (they may break out of their skins). Check the lentils about 15 minutes in to see if they need more water.
- Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender), purée the contents until creamy and smooth. You may need to add more water to get this to the right consistency – you want it to be a soup, not refried lentils!
- Taste and adjust seasonings and salt. Serve with Moroccan Mint Tea and garlic bread.

Notes
- To store Moroccan Lentil Soup, let it cool completely and transfer it to airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. To freeze, make the soup in portions for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, thaw overnight in the freezer if frozen. Warm on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in 1-2 minute increments until hot.
