Rinse dried lentils well, pick out any debris, and place in a medium to large pot with a lid. Add 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth. Or you can use water and bouillon. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium and boil lentils for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While lentils are cooking place sliced Tomatoes, Onion, Garlic, and 1 cup of broth in a blender. Blend until smooth.Peel and dice potato into even pieces.

Step 3

After 10 minutes of the lentils boiling, add the blended tomato sauce, the diced potatoes, and whole cilantro. Bring the heat back to a low boil, cover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Check the lentils, If they are still hard then place the lid back on and continue to simmer. Once the lentils and potatoes are soft the soup is done. Taste for seasoning and see if additional salt is needed. You can remove the cilantro stems or leave them in the soup.

Step 4

Serve the lentil soup with fresh chopped cilantro on, hot sauce, a squeeze of lime, queso freso, or diced avocado.
