Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 2 carrot diced
- 2 celery ribs finely diced
- 2 golden potato peeled cut into small cubes, medium
- 1 sweet potato peeled cut into small cubes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika sweet
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- ½ tsp curry powder optional, mild
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup red lentils rinsed and drained, dry
- 2 chicken breast cut in half lenghwise
- cilantro coriander) to garnish, finely chopped
- Pinch dried red chili flakes to garnish
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot (I used my GreenPan Dutch Oven). Add the onion, celery, carrots and chopped potatoes and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring, for five minutes.
- Stir in the spices and seasoning followed by the tomato paste.
- Stir in the chicken broth and lentils and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts, partially cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
- Use tongs to remove the chicken from the broth. Slice or shred the chicken.
- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup. Add the diced chicken back into the pot and have a taste to see if you need to adjust the seasoning.
- Serve garnished with chopped cilantro, chili flakes and ground pepper with a slice of my easy pumpkin bread. Absolutely heavenly!
