red bell pepper, chopped

carrot, chopped

red lentils, rinsed and picked through

potato,

stock

garlic,

paprika

cumin

cayenne pepper

salt and pepper

Greek yogurt

chopped fresh cilantro

lemon wedges

Begin by adding the olive oil to a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and carrots and sauté until onions become just translucent (about 5 minutes).

Next, add the red lentils, potato, stock, garlic, paprika, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stir and reduce to a simmer.

Cover the pot loosely and cook for 30 minutes or until the lentils are tender and falling apart.

For a smooth soup: use an immersion blender, food processor or regular blender and process the soup to a silky smooth consistency. For a chunkier soup: Blend half the soup while reserving the other half in the pot. Stir the creamy blended portion fin with the reserved unblended soup. Stir together,

Once you have the soup blended to your liking add a dash of cayenne. Stir and taste. If you want more heat, add another pinch of cayenne. Careful not to overdo it. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust.

Serve the soup hot and garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt, freshly chopped cilantro and a lemon wedge for squeezing on the side. Bon Appetit!
