Ingredients

6 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, (finely chopped)
4 g arlic cloves, (minced)
1 large carrot, (diced)
Heaping ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 14.5 -ounce (411-g) can diced tomatoes
⅓ cup red lentils
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 15.5 -ounce (439-g) can chickpeas, (drained and rinsed)
1 cup cooked vegetables, (such as frozen peas or chopped green beans)

Steps

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, smoked paprika and cumin; cook, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn't brown, about 2 minutes more.
Add the broth, diced tomatoes, red lentils, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer; cook for ten minutes. Add the chickpeas, cover the pot and cook 10 minutes more. Fish out the bay leaves, then transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender and purée until smooth (be sure to remove the center knob on the blender and cover with a dishtowel to avoid splatters). Add the puréed soup back to the pot and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary; if you want the soup to be thicker, purée a bit more soup. Add the cooked vegetables and simmer until the soup is hot and the vegetables are warmed through. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
