Ingredients
- 1 small onion
- 1 big leek
- 2 middle sized carrots
- 2 middle sized potatoes
- 120 g red lentils
- 3 tsp tomato concentrate
- fresh parsley
- extra virgin olive oil
- water
- salt
- pepper
- savory
- turmeric
- cumin seeds
1. Pour a few tbsp of olive oil in a large pot, then fry the finely chopped onion and leek.
You can slice the leek finely then chop it additionaly a bit more.
2. Meanwhile, chop the carrots and potatoes into cubes.
After 4-5 minutes of stirring the onion and leek, add the veggies and spices, only the turmeric, a few cumin seed and a bit of savory.
Fry and stir for a few minutes.
You will add the salt and pepper at the end.
3. Wash the lentils and add into the pot. Pour over the water. I used about 500 ml water.
Cover with the lid and cook for about 30 minutes, until the veggies soften and the lentils are cooked.
4. By the end season with salt and pepper, add the tomato paste concentrate and stir well.
5. Serve with fresh chopped parsley.
I often like to add feta cheese to my soups, because I am so used to eating feta cheese with everything!
