  • Instructions

    1. Heat up a large pot to medium heat.
    2. Once warm, add the onion, garlic, carrot, zucchini, celery and salt, and cook until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes, whilst stirring continually to avoid burning.
    3. Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, spices and stir to combine.
    4. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil.
    5. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 45 minutes.
    6. Serve warm, garnished with some fresh chopped celery, parsley and/or cilantro.
