Vegan Lentil Soup Recipe

Sometimes I want a recipe that isn’t super simple, but also is not really complicated. It turns into a hunt to find what I want though. Lentil soup tonight was like that. It was either recipes with the bare minimum, or so complicated it seemed unnecessary. I melded two different recipes to reach this in between, it is super simple to make and even tastier then I could have imagined.

You need:

1 Tsp oil (veggie or olive)

1 Onion, diced

1 Carrot, sliced

4 Cups Vegetable Broth, or 2 vegetable bullion cubes and 4 cups water

1 Cup dry lentils

1 Tsp Cumin

1 Tsp Turmeric

1 Tsp Salt

¼ Tsp Pepper

In large pot, sauté the onion and carrot in oil till the onion turns clear.

Add vegetable broth/water, lentils, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!

The spices can be to taste and you can add any vegetables you want as well such as potatoes or mushrooms. Bread for dipping is crucial as well.
