Ingredients

1 cup Red lentils
1 Onion
3 cloves Garlic
2 Carrots
2 stalks Celery
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper

Method

Rinse the lentils and pick out any debris or stones, then set them aside to drain.
Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery into small pieces and sauté them in a large pot over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 8–10 minutes.
Add the cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the lentils, salt, and pepper to the pot, then pour in 4 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender, about 20–25 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or allow it to cool and puree it in a blender, then reheat it over low heat, about 5 minutes.
