Enhance vegan lentil stew with smoky paprika & salt. Enjoy with crusty bread & green salad.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots (about 2 large carrots)
  • 1 cup diced celery (about 2 to 3 medium stalks)
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 medium-sized potato)
  • 2 cups brown lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 4 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
  • In a stock pot over medium-low heat, sauté onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil with a pinch of salt until tender and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and potatoes, cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Bring out the rich flavors: Combine lentils, smoked paprika, smoked salt, thyme, bay leaf, and vegetable broth or water in a pot. Boil, then simmer uncovered until lentils are almost tender, about 22-24 minutes.
  • Incorporate the tomato paste and lemon juice into the mixture and simmer for 5 more minutes until the lentils are tender. Adjust the seasoning with additional smoked salt to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh parsley and divide it into 4 bowls before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers, which can keep for up to 5 days.
