Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the onions, celery, and carrots. Saute until vegetables are tender and onions or translucent, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 2

Add garlic, thyme, cumin, coriander, and paprika. Saute until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add ½ cup tomatoes and lentils, stir and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add 4 cups of vegetable broth, bay leaf, and black pepper, bring to a boil.

Step 5

Cover pot and reduce to medium-low heat. Simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Most of the broth should be absorbed.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf and discard it.

Step 7

Remove 1 cup of the lentil mixture from the pot, reserve.

Step 8

Add 2 cups of broth to the pot. Use a stick immersion blender and process until the soup is mostly smooth. Alternatively, lentils and broth can be processed in a blender.

Step 10

Taste the soup, add salt and pepper as desired.

Step 11

Simmer over medium heat until hot.
