Instructions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the lentils. Add lentils and broth to a pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, approximately 15 minutes. (If you did not presoak the lentils, increase cooking time by about 15 minutes.)
Step 2
While the lentils are cooking, sauté the carrot, celery, and onion in oil for 8 minutes, or until onion is golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
When lentils are tender, add the vegetables, tarragon, oregano, and salt and pepper (if using) to the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in lemon juice. Ladle into 4 serving bowls; garnish with lemon slices.
