Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, medium diced
• 1 russet potato, washed and small diced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup zucchini, small diced (optional)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup red lentils
• 1 quart of chicken stock or 2 bouillon cubes mixed into 4 cups of water
• Lemon juice to garnish

Instructions

1. In a heavy bottom pan set over medium high heat, add olive oil, onion, potato, carrots, cumin, paprika and salt. Cook, occasionally stirring, for 10 minutes. When onions have reached a sweat, add red lentils, your desired amount of chicken stock. Stir.
2. Chef tip: If you don’t have stock, simply add the same amount of water, and 3-4 bouillon cubes.
3. Raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, drop heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. The lentils should be tender.
4. Once the lentils are tender, blend the mixture until completely smooth. Serve hot and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Enjoy!
