Total time: 45 min
Yield: 1 servings
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion; 2 cloves garlic; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 1 teaspoon cumin; 0.25 teaspoon salt; 0.25 teaspoon pepper; 0.125 teaspoon chili powder; 4 cups broth; 2 carrots; 1 pd lentils; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 3 tablespoons cilantro; 1 serving salt

This is a blended lentil soup, hearty with carrots, onion, and garlic, and brightened by a good amount of lemon juice and fresh cilantro at the end. It comes together in about 45 minutes, making it a good option for a weeknight meal. The spices — cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper — bloom in the hot oil before the broth and vegetables are added, building a deep base of flavor. Once everything is tender, a quick blend turns it into a smooth, warming soup.
