Before making this soup, I had NEVER had lentils before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect to be honest. I was pleasantly surprised, and will definitely be making this soup again! There is nothing to describe the flavor really except that it tastes just like fall and is the perfect soup to ring in the new season!
What you need
6 cups veggie broth (I made my own but you don't have to)
1 yellow onion (diced)
Garlic to taste
Red Potatoes (this will help give your soup texture so use as many as you want)
2 cups red lentils
3-4 large carrots (diced)
Spices (I used paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and salt)
What you need to do
Place the onion and garlic in your pot over medium high heat and sauté for a few minutes.
Add in carrots and pieces of your potatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Pour in your veggie broth, lentils, and spices and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce to medium low heat and simmer until soup is thick and potatoes are soft. (This took me about 30 minutes, and I added water a few times to keep it to the consistency that I liked.)
Remember to have fun in the kitchen! Find the enjoyment in cooking, change the recipe if you have to, and work with what you have! :)
