Ingredients
1 TBSP OLIVE OIL1 CUP CHOPPED CARROTS1 CUP CHOPPED ONIONS1 CUP DRIED LENTILS1/2 CUP RICE1/2 TSP SALT1/2 TSP CUMIN1/2 BLACK PEPPER36 OZ BROTH8 OZ TOMATO SAUCE2 CUPS MILK
Directions
Heat the oil over medium heat and cook the carrots and onion 5-10 minutes, stirring.

Add the lentils, rice, salt, cumin, pepper, broth, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, stir, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes–until the lentils are tender.

Use a hand immersion blender to blend the soup or transfer it half at a time into your food processor or blender and blend a bit. I personally like it to still be a bit chunky so I didn’t make it totally smooth.

Stir in the milk and heat over low until warmed through.
