    How to Make Red Lentil Soup with Lemon

    1. Sauté Onions and Garlic

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté until the onions turn golden, about 4 minutes.

    2. Add Spices and Tomato Paste

    Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of ground chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

    3. Simmer the Soup

    Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, add red lentils, diced large carrots, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes until the lentils are tender.

    4. Puree and Add Lemon and Herbs

    Puree half of the soup using an immersion blender, regular blender, or food processor. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped fresh cilantro. Reheat gently if necessary.
