Categories     Soup/Stew     Carrot

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
7 carrots, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups red lentils, rinsed until water runs clear
1-15 oz can diced tomatoes
6 cups vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, fresh lemon juice and crushed red pepper to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tablespoons in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the carrots and sauté until carrots are tender about 10-12 minutes. Add the spices and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes and lentils and stir to combine. Simmer on low heat for 30-35 minutes until lentils are tender. To create a creamy soup use a blender and blend soup in portions or use an immersion blender. Serve soup with fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper and fresh lemon juice. This soup freezes very well if you have leftovers. You can use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but this soup was surprisingly good. The lentils and spices add a lot of flavor and the soup is very filling. I would definitely recommend this soup to others.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a bit more cumin than the recipe called for and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this soup again!
