INGREDIENTS
80g dried red lentils
1 cup chopped carrots
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (for topping)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cool water until water runs clear.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced onion. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, chopped carrots, and spices (cumin, turmeric, paprika) to the pot. Stir for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed lentils. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Let the soup cook for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils and carrots are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup to create a thicker, creamier texture while leaving some chunks for heartiness, or blend entirely if preferred.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of plain nonfat Greek yogurt.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, spiced soup.
