How to Prepare Simple Lentil Soup With Leeks and Yellow Carrots [Vegan]

  1. Check lentils for stones and rinse in a strainer. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add lentils, and reduce heat to simmer 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  1. In a stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat and add leeks. Cook slowly, stirring, about 6 minutes until quite soft. Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
  1. Add carrots, potatoes, lentils and stock. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes and carrots are tender.
  1. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender, or a standing blender to puree about half of the soup. This gives the broth a nice thickness.
  1. Serve garnished with cilantro or parsley.
