Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Rinsing helps remove any impurities and excess starch.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 3
Add the chopped yellow onion and carrot to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
- 4
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and ground turmeric, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Be careful not to burn the garlic or spices.

Add the chopped tomato and rinsed red lentils to the pot, stirring to combine with the aromatic vegetables.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender and have broken down.
Yaklaşık 25 dk.
Aşçının notu: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Remove the pot from the heat and, if desired, use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup to your preferred consistency.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: For a smoother soup, blend completely; for a chunkier texture, blend only partially.

Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: The lemon juice brightens the flavors considerably.
