Lentil Soup
  1. Wash the lentils with cold water until the water runs clear and is no longer bubbly. If needed, soak them. (The brand of lentils I used did not need to be soaked). Wash rice and set aside as well.

  2. Wash and chop all the veggies.

  3. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large pot on medium heat.

  4. Add onions. Cook until translucent.

  5. Add celery, carrots, & parsley. Add more oil if needed. Stir and cook until softened. (About 5-7 mins).

  6. Add the spices: salt, black pepper, paprika, & cumin. Mix to evenly distribute.

  7. Add washed lentils and rice.

  8. Add vegetable broth and water. Cook until rice & lentils are tender. (About 15 mins).

  9. Blend until creamy and smooth.

  10. Serve in individual bowls and top with a fresh squeeze of lemon, fresh parsley and cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
