🍲😍 I’ve got a simple and healthy lentil soup recipe for you! Double it for leftovers because it tastes even better the next day.
There are almost infinite variations to this recipe – try adding salsa or curry paste for different flavor flairs, or adding oat groats to thicken the soup to a stew.
EASY LENTIL SOUP
Makes 4 servings
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup finely chopped onion
• ¼ cup finely chopped carrot
• ¼ cup finely chopped celery
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 8 oz. lentils, picked over and rinsed
• 2 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 C vegetable broth (or bone broth)
• ½ tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp freshly ground toasted cumin
Place a soup pot over medium heat and add olive oil. When it’s hot, add the onion, carrot, celery, and salt and cook until onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, chili powder, and cumin. Stir to combine. Boost the heat to high to bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low, simmering until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
