This is one of those soups that I would classify as “Middleterranean” cuisine. It’s a creamy red lentil soup that has middle eastern spices. Such as cinnamon, cumin, allspice, coriander, clove, nutmeg, and black pepper. Made with red lentils, carrots, onion, and garlic. I also baked some pita chips and drizzled olive oil on top. This soup is healthy, quick, and easy to make. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. 🍲🧡
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 organic onion, chopped
2 cloves organic garlic, chopped
1½ cups (225g) organic dried red lentils

1 tbsp allspice
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cloves
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp black pepper
salt to taste
½ tsp turmeric
6 cups chicken bone broth
Method:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add in the chopped garlic and cook for another minute or so.
-Stir in the lentils, carrots, seven spice blend, turmeric, salt and pepper and continue cooking until the spices are fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
