Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion has turned golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of chili powder. Cook and stir 2 minutes more until the spices are fragrant.
- Stir in the chicken broth, lentils, and carrot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are soft, about 30 minutes.
- Pour half of the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Do not puree all of the soup, leave it a little chunky.
- Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro, then season to taste with salt. Drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of chili powder to serve.

[email protected]I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also thought the lentils were a little overcooked.

[email protected]This soup was a little too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice. Otherwise, it was a good soup.

[email protected]I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with a side of bread or crackers. I also like to add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to each bowl.

[email protected]This soup is delicious! I made it exactly as the recipe says and it turned out perfect. The lemon adds a really nice brightness to the soup. I also like that it's a vegetarian soup, so it's a good option for meatless Mondays.
