Let’s make it
- 01
Warm oil in a pot. Soften onion and carrots over medium heat for 7 minutes.
- 02
Stir in cumin, lentils, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
- 03
Simmer partially covered for 30–35 minutes until lentils are tender. Add water if too thick; season to taste.
A little kitchen wisdom
Older lentils can take longer to soften. Taste several lentils before serving and add broth as needed.
Make it your own
Use brown lentils instead of green. Red lentils break down faster and make a thicker soup; shorten cooking time.
Storage & leftovers
Refrigerate in a sealed container within 2 hours and use within 3 days. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F (74°C).
