Lebanese Lentil Soup is a delicious and nutritious soup made with lentils, vegetables, and spices commonly found in Lebanese cuisine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried green lentils or brown lentils, rinsed
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon juice

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices.
- Add the lentils and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some lentils whole for texture. Alternatively, you can transfer a portion of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth, then add it back to the pot.
- Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
- Serve the Lebanese Lentil Soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
