Red Lentil Soup With Lime and Cilantro image

Yummy soup yet so easy to throw together! Cook time is a guess since I live at high altitude and it takes forever for the lentils to break down. We really enjoyed this, even my 2 yr. old DD loved it! Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, diced
4 celery ribs, diced
1 lb red lentil
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 quarts chicken broth or 2 quarts vegetable broth, more if needed

1/2 cup fresh cilantro or 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Melt butter in soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and celery; cook until onions are translucent, about 4-6 minutes.
  • Add bay leaf, cumin and garlic, cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add lentils and coat evenly with butter, cook 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
