Middle Eastern Lentil Soup

A velvety Levantine lentil soup built around earthy red lentils, sweet onions, warm cumin, and a bright finish of lemon and cilantro. It is hearty enough for lunch yet light enough for a first course.

Cómo preparar

1
Rinse the red lentils under cool running water until the water is mostly clear, then drain well. Dice the onion and carrot, and mince the garlic.
2
Heat 20 ml of the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot with half of the salt and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring, until the onion is translucent and the carrot begins to soften.
3
Add the garlic, cumin, and black pepper. Stir for 30 seconds, just until fragrant, taking care not to brown the garlic.
4
Add the drained lentils and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring once to prevent the lentils from settling.
5
Reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 22 to 25 minutes. Stir every few minutes; the lentils should collapse and the vegetables should be completely tender.

6
Stir in the lemon juice and remaining olive oil. Taste and adjust the salt; the soup should be savory, gently spiced, and distinctly bright from the lemon.
7
Ladle the soup into warm bowls and scatter with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and warm flatbread.

Por qué funciona esta receta

Red lentils break down naturally during the simmer, creating a creamy body without dairy. Cumin supplies warmth, while lemon and fresh cilantro cut through the lentils and keep the soup lively.

Conservación y recalentado

Cómo conservarla

Cool the soup promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 4 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months. The soup thickens as it stands; loosen with water or stock before reheating.

Cómo recalentarla

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming hot throughout. Add a splash of water or stock to restore the texture.
