Ingredients
-
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 carrot, diced small
1/4 cup onion, diced small
1 clove garlic, minced
100g dry lentils (about 3/4 cup), washed and picked over
4 cups vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cardamom
1 tsp mustard seeds
freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste
Directions
1. Heat oil in medium saucepan; add carrot and onion; cook until just brown around the edges. Add garlic and mustard seeds.
2. Stir in the lentils, broth, bay leaf, and spices; bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
3. Once the lentils are tender, remove the bay leaf. Run the soup quickly in a blender to a not too smooth consistency (or mash the lentils/beans with a ladle). Add salt, pepper, and squeezed lemon to taste.
Serving Size: Makes 3 ~1-cup servings
