Minty Red Lentil Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, drained
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup red lentils
  • 1/4 cup fine bulgur
  • 1/4 cup rice
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon dried mint
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of oil in a spacious cooking vessel over an intermediate temperature. Introduce the onion and cook until it starts to lose its rigidity, approximately 2 minutes. Add garlic to the mixture and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Incorporate diced tomatoes into the pot and let them cook for a considerable amount of time, around 10 minutes.
2
Add chicken stock, lentils, bulgur, rice, tomato paste, mint, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir everything together until it reaches a boiling point. Lower the heat to a lower medium and let the soup simmer for an extended period, roughly 30 minutes, until the lentils and rice become tender.
3
Blend the soup using an immersion blender to achieve a uniform consistency.
