Ingredients
Soup
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion ¼” diced, large
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 carrot peeled and ¼” diced
- 1 sweet potato peeled and ¼” diced
- 1 cup red lentils split, picked through and rinsed
- 1 quart chicken stock low sodium; or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1-2 lemon plural
- 1 cilantro chopped, or parsley
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Toppings
- yogurt plain, Greek
- feta cheese
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Start by adding the extra virgin olive oil to a large pot on medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, and sweet potato. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and onions are translucent.
- Now, add the lentils, stock, cumin, coriander, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the soup to come to a boil and then lower the heat so that it’s simmering.
- Slightly cover the pot and allow the soup to cook for about 30 minutes. The lentils should become soft.
- To make the soup smoother, turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup for 20-30 seconds. Alternatively, you can remove all or a portion of the soup and blend in a blender to puree. If you do not want a smooth soup, simply skip this step.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add salt and pepper, if needed.
- The final step is to add the juice of the lemons and fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings.
