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.

I LOVED this! I followed some reviews and kept back some salt, but ended up putting it back in at the end. My kids liked it too! It was GREAT with a pinch of cayenne!!!!! I will keep this in my fast and yummy arsenal!

Great soup. It makes enough to feed an army; very filling. Way too salty. I thought twice about putting that much salt in, but thought that the recipe had probably been duplicated and checked before publishing. I wished I had read through the reviews before putting it together. I threw in a peeled raw potato 20 minutes before serving when I realized how salty it was. I'm not sure it helped as it was still too much salt. I did double the vegetables, as well as the spices. I also added raw spinach at the end. Very good. I will make it again, but with a normal sprinkle of salt when sweating the vegetables. Could not find Grains of Paradise either, so I used freshly ground pepper.
