Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped, divided
2 tbsp curry powder (or more to taste)
1 cup french green lentil
4 1/4 cups water, divided (or more )
1 (15 -16 oz) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp butter
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges

Directions:

Heat 1 Tb olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrot; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.
Add half of chopped garlic; stir until vegetables are soft but not brown, about 4 minutes longer.
Add 2 Tb curry powder; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lentils and 4 cups water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Increase heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, puree chickpeas, lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, remaining 2 Tb olive oil, and remaining garlic in processor.
Add chickpea puree and butter to lentil soup. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional curry powder, if desired. Add water by 1/4 cupfuls to thin to desired consistency.
Note: Soup can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and refrigerate. Rewarm before continuing.
Divide soup among bowls. Sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions and serve with lemon wedges.
