Instructions

    Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion (mirepoix).

  2. 2

    Sauté the vegetables for 6-8 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the dried herbs and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their oils.

    Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes (with juices), and the broth. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy.

  6. 6

    Taste and season generously with salt, black pepper, and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Divide into 4 deep containers.
