1\u00bd hours | 1 hour prep<\/p>\n
SERVES 6 -8<\/p>\n
* 5 cups vegetable broth or water<\/p>\n
* 1 cup dried red lentils<\/p>\n
* 2 cups chopped onions<\/p>\n
* 2 cups chopped potatoes<\/p>\n
* 8 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole<\/p>\n
* 1 tablespoon canola oil<\/p>\n
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin<\/p>\n
* 1\/2 teaspoon turmeric<\/p>\n
* 1 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
* 1\/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro<\/p>\n
* 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n
* salt and pepper<\/p>\n
1. Add the first 5 ingredients to a large pot; cover and bring to a boil.<\/p>\n
2. Lower the heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the lentils and veggies are tender.<\/p>\n
3. Take pot from stove burner and set aside.<\/p>\n
4. In a small saucepan, add the oil; warm over low heat until the oil is hot but not smoking.<\/p>\n
5. Add in the cumin, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir constantly for for 2-3 minutes or until the cumin has released its fragrance (be careful not to scorch the spices).<\/p>\n
6. Set spice mixture aside for 1 minute to cool.<\/p>\n
7. Stir spice mixture into the lentil mixture; add cilantro, stir to combine.<\/p>\n
8. You can puree the soup, in batches, in a blender OR you can use an immersion blender and blend to desired texture (I like to leave it a little chunky).<\/p>\n
