Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup French green lentils*
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for serving, if desired)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
2 medium carrots (diced) (about 1 cup)
2 stalks celery (chopped) (about 3/4 cup)
4 medium cloves garlic (minced) (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Rinse lentils. Place in a heat-proof bowl and pour boiling water over the top. Let sit 20 minutes.
  • While the lentils soak, chop and saute the vegetables. To saute, set a large soup pot over medium heat.
  • When hot, add the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring
  • frequently, for one minute.
  • Add the vegetable broth and the tomato paste. Drain the lentils, discarding the soaking water, and add them to the pot. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the red wine vinegar. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if
  • desired.
  • Scoop into bowls and serve. If you like, drizzle with a little more olive oil and an optional topping if desired.
