Print Recipe

A hearty and nutritious soup packed with protein and fiber, perfect for cozy winter nights.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lentils (green or brown)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the lentils, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

This soup keeps well in the fridge and flavors only get better over time. For a creamier texture, add a splash of coconut milk towards the end.
