Instructions
Saute the Aromatics
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrots and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cumin and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add Lentils and Tomatoes
Pour in the rinsed lentils and diced tomatoes and stir everything together to combine well.
Simmer the Soup
Add the vegetable broth and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils are completely tender.
Blend and Season
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamier texture, leaving some lentils whole. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.
