  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed

  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  6. Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy texture, you can blend about one-third of the soup using an immersion blender before serving.
  • Feel free to add a handful of spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking for extra greens.
  • This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.
