Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 pound lentils, picked and rinsed
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped tomatoes
  • 2 quarts chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground toasted cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise

Directions

Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery and salt and sweat until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin and grains of paradise and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree to your preferred consistency. Serve immediately.

    Growing up on a "meat and potatoes" ranch and farm, my experience with lentils is limited. I followed this recipe exactly, and it was
    delicious! I will definitely make it again.

    yummy!! I love it. This soup is my go to easy recipe to a good dinner. Just the thing I want when on a cold wisconsin winter night. I don't change a thing but i do not use the grains of paradise. Will make again and again. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    Easy and delicious. I bought the grains of paradise seeds on amazon, and ground them with my spice grinder. I added a bit more liquid since my lentils weren't tender and the soup was thick. Other than that, I didn't change a thing.
