Postup

Krok za krokem

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Přibližně 1 min
2
Add the chopped onion and carrot to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Přibližně 7 min
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the tomato paste, dried mint, and paprika to the pot, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Cooking the tomato paste briefly helps deepen its flavor.
5
Pour in the water and add the rinsed red lentils, salt, and black pepper.
Přibližně 1 min
6
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender and have broken down.
Přibližně 25 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Stir occasionally to prevent lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
7
Remove the pot from the heat. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend directly in the pot until your desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, carefully transfer portions to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Přibližně 3 min
Poznámka kuchaře: If using a regular blender, vent the lid to allow steam to escape and avoid pressure buildup.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Přibližně 1 min
9
Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing.
Poznámka kuchaře: A drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper can add a nice kick.
