Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 2 tsp miso paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups rinsed and drained brown lentils
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. To a heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent.

  2. Stir in miso paste with 2 tbsp of water until dissolved into onion mixture. Add bay leaves, coriander, cumin, and paprika. Stir in tomatoes. Cook for 3 minutes. Add lentils, vegetable broth, and water. Stir to combine.

  3. Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce the heat to simmer for 25 minutes, covered. Once lentils are soft, take a hand blender and puree soup until desired consistency. I like mine pretty creamy. Adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) as needed.

  4. Serve soup with fresh parsley, cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes, and toasted bread.
