Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup lentils, rinsed and picked through
6 cups water
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 carrot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 (14 1/2 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/8 tsp tabasco sauce (or to taste)
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Bring the lentils and water to a boil in a large pot.
Reduced to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils begin to soften.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick pan; saute the onions, carrot, and garlic for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to change color; keep the lid on between stirrings.
Stir in the ginger, coriander, and cumin; cook for 1 minute, then scrape it all into the pot with the lentils.
Add in the tomatoes, Tabasco, and salt to the pot.
Simmer the soup, covered, for 30 minutes.
Stir in the parsley and cilantro; taste for seasoning and adjust, then serve.
