Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
2 small yellow onions, finely diced
2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup dried red lentils
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 quarts chicken stock or 2 quarts vegetable stock or 2 quarts water
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions:

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and carrot and saute until soft, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, ginger and salt and continue to saute until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add lentils, tomato paste and stock.
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and partially cover. Cook 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Add lemon juice and half the cilantro. Taste for seasoning. If you would like the soup thicker, pulse briefly with an immersion blender, or transfer 1/3 of the lentils and broth to a blender, puree and return to pot.
Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with crusty bread.
