Method

7 steps · 45 min

01
Sauté Onion and Garlic
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them for a few minutes until they smell fragrant and are translucent, but not browned.
02
Add Tomatoes
Pour in the canned tomatoes, including their juice. Use a wooden spoon to break them up into smaller chunks right in the pot.
03
Add Broth
Stir in about 1 1/2 liters of the chicken broth, reserving the remaining 500 ml for thinning the soup later, especially if you plan to reheat it.
04
Simmer Lentils
Increase the heat to maximum, then add the large bunch of parsley and the 1 cup of lentils. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and soft.
05
Stir in Spices
About halfway through the simmering time (around the 10-minute mark), stir in the 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and the chili flakes, if you're using them. Mix everything thoroughly.
06
Serve
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with fresh parsley, a grind of black pepper, and a small wedge of lemon for squeezing over the top.
07
Storage and Reheating
This soup thickens considerably as it cools. If you're portioning it into containers for future meals, add a splash of the reserved chicken broth to thin it out before reheating.
