Ingredients
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 carrot peeled and diced
- 2 potato cubed, Yukon gold variety
- 1 cup red lentils (dried)
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium (or vegetable broth))
- 1 tablespoon dried mint
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat a large stock pot over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray (or drizzle with olive oil). Sauté onions and carrots, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add potatoes, red lentils, cumin, salt and cayenne to the pot and continue sautéing for 2-3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir tomato paste into the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes so that the paste can absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Pour in chicken broth, give the entire mixture a stir. Increase heat to high, bringing the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes and lentils are cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
- Remove pot from the heat and add mint and lemon juice. Puree until smooth using an immersion hand blender. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly before serving.
Notes
- This soup tastes even better on days two and three so I love making extra for lunches later in the week. It also freezes great!
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a blender or food processor.
