Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, washed and chopped
- 1 celery rib chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 28oz can crushed tomatoes
- 32oz box of low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of dried red lentils
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a soup pot, turn the heat on the stove up to high. Add the chopped onion to the pan, stir regularly to avoid burning. Cook on high until the onion is translucent and starts to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rest of the garlic, carrot, celery, red bell pepper, and dried thyme to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Turn heat down to medium-high if needed.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Using a handheld immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth.
- Bring the soup to a boil and then add the dried red lentils. Stir the soup to break up any clumps of lentils. Cook for 15 minutes, until lentils are tender. That’s it! Time to enjoy!
Notes
Can be frozen and stored for up to 6 months. If you like spice add some Aleppo pepper or red chili flakes. We also like to add these at the table so everyone can control their own spice level.
