Moroccan Lentil Soup
Delicious and Tasty Vegan Moroccan lentil soup recipe with red lentils, vegetables, and potato. Full of flavors with rich spices that make this a perfect comforting soup recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil optional
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 white potato
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dry red lentils
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- fresh parsley or coriander for garnishing optional
Instructions
- Cut vegetables into small same-size pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large pot. ( for oil-free version just use a splash of water instead ). Add chopped onions, celery, and carrot, and saute in medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes until everything softens slightly.
- Season with the spices, salt, and pepper and cook for another few minutes so that spices combine well with vegetables.
- Add canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, and minced garlic. Bring the soup to a boil, cover and reduce to simmer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes add chopped potatoes. ( I recommend adding potatoes later as it cooks so much faster than lentils and carrots and otherwise comes too soft and mushy ).
- Let the soup simmer for another 15 minutes in medium-high heat.
- For optional garnishes, add some fresh parsley or fresh coriander on top.
