vegetable broth
🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock
💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes
Homemade stock can be lower in sodium and fresher.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: canola oil
Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.
Thinly grate some carrots, finely dice a yellow onion, and mince some garlic cloves.
Preheat a large pot over medium heat.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the pot.
Add 1/2 finely diced yellow onion and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic to the pot.
Add shredded carrots to the pot and sauté until softened.
Discuss optional vegetables like potatoes, celery, spinach, and zucchini that can be added.
Add lentils and either chicken broth or water to the pot, monitoring the salt if using chicken broth.
Season the mixture with black pepper, cumin, turmeric, and red pepper flakes.
If using water, add 1 teaspoon of salt to start and adjust later.
Mix everything together and allow it to come to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, checking until lentils are soft.
Taste the soup for salt and adjust spices as necessary.
Add red pepper flakes on top, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh cilantro before serving.
