Equipment

  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

  • 1 cup red lentils

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Lemon wedges and fresh cilantro for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
2
Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Add the ground turmeric to the pot and stir to coat the vegetables.

6
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

If desired, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.

Notes

Rinse the lentils well before using to remove any debris. Use a vegetable broth or stock that is low in sodium to control the salt level in the soup. The soup can be blended using an immersion blender for a smoother consistency, or left chunky.
