  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Roast the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is charred. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let cool before peeling.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the rinsed lentils, roasted red peppers (chopped), vegetable broth, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.
  4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  5. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy hot!
