👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
⏱️ 10 minutes
2
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 1 minute
3
Stir in the rinsed red lentils, vegetable broth, cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the lentils are well-rinsed to remove any impurities.
4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender and have broken down.
⏱️ 35 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5
For a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup. Alternatively, carefully transfer a portion to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
💡 전문가 팁: Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach desired consistency.
💡 전문가 팁: The soup will thicken as it cools.
7
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the soup and crusty bread for dipping.
