Instructions

Step 1

First sort the lentils for any stones, grains, or sand. Wash thoroughly and drain. In a large pot, over high heat, add the olive oil and onions with carrots and toss lightly until yellow and fragrant. Only sautee until soft; do not brown it. Add the garlic, turmeric, and tomatoes and stir for another minute. Immediately add the lentils, broth, water, and spices. Stir well. Once the soup begins to boil, reduce to medium-low heat. Allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, covered. Once the lentils are softened and cooked, puree with a blender, and remove from heat. If the soup looks too thick to you, you can add more water over low heat and stir until homogenous. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, a cilantro garnish, and optionally pita chips.
