Instructions creamy red lentil and potato soup

  • In a saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes to make it soft and slightly translucent. Add sliced garlic, carrot and the diced potatoes. Cook for another 2 – 3 minutes stirring often.
  • Add cumin, paprika, rosemary, a good pinch of salt and cook for another 2 minutes stirring often. Now add previously rinsed under running water red lentils.
  • Add vegetable broth, water and tomato paste. Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and very soft and the lentils are starting to fall apart. If the lentils absorb too much liquid you can add more water.
  • Taste and add more salt and spices if necessary, then blend everything with the immersion blender or in the vertical blender. Serve hot garnished with a teaspoon of natural yogurt, parsley and crumbled crackers or croutons.
