Ingredients
▢3 tablespoon olive oil
▢1 large onion (chopped)
▢1 medium carrot (chopped)
▢5 cloves garlic (minced)
▢1 teaspoon turmeric
▢1 teaspoon cumin
▢2 tablespoon smoked paprika
▢1 cup red lentils (dry)
▢3 tablespoon tomato paste
▢4 cups chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
▢2 cups chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
▢1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
▢1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Garnish
▢1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
▢3 green onions (chopped)
Instructions
Cook Mirepoix: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch Oven or a soup pot. Add the chopped onion, carrot and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Make Soup Base: Add the spices (turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika) and stir. Next, add the red lentils, tomato paste and stir in the chicken broth until the tomato paste dissolves.
Add the Chicken: Add the shredded chicken, bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked through. You will have to stir occasionally.
Finish and Serve: Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with parsley and green onions. Serve.
Notes
If you want a thinner soup (because this is a really thick soup) just add more chicken broth, totally up to you.
