Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes.
- Add celery and carrot. Cook for 7 - 10 minutes or until softened and the onion is sweet. Don't rush this step, it is key to the flavour base of the soup.
- Add all remaining ingredients except the lemon and salt. Stir.
- Increase heat and bring to simmer. Scoop scum on the surface off and discard (do this again during cooking if required). Place lid on and turn heat down to medium low. Simmer for 35 - 40 minutes or until lentils are soft.
- Remove bay leaves.
- Thicken Soup: Using a stick blender, do 2 or 3 quick whizzes to thicken the soup (see video below). Or transfer 2 cups to a blender, let it cool slightly, then hold lid with tea towel and blend then transfer back into pot.
- Add a touch of water if you want to adjust soup consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Grate over the zest of the lemon then add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve with warm crusty bread slathered liberally with butter!

Steps:
- Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. One-fourth cup olive oil may seem like a lot, but it adds a lovely richness and heartiness to this nutritious soup.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and carrot and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cumin, curry powder and thyme. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes, stirring often, in order to enhance their flavor.
- Pour in the lentils, broth and the water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Raise heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then partially cover the pot and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.
- Transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender. Securely fasten the lid, protect your hand from steam with a tea towel placed over the lid, and purée the soup until smooth. Pour the puréed soup back into the pot. (Or, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup.)
- Add the chopped greens and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the greens have softened to your liking. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice until the flavors really sing. For spicier soup, add another pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
- Serve while hot. Leftovers will keep well for about 4 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for several months (just defrost before serving).

Steps:
- Make the rice according to How to Cook Basmati Rice (or Instant Pot Rice).
- Place the lentils in a saucepan with 6 cups warm water. Bring to a low boil, then boil for about 20 minutes until tender (taste to assess doneness). Drain, then add a few pinches of salt.
- Meanwhile, wash the greens, remove the stems and chop the leaves. (If using prewashed baby spinach, you can skip this step.) In your largest skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the greens and sauté for several minutes until tender and bright green.
- When the lentils are done, add them to the skillet with the greens. Over medium high heat, stir in the coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, tomato paste, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Cook for a few minutes until heated through and the sauce is thickened.
- Taste and add a few pinches of salt if desired. Serve with rice.

- Best Lentil Soup. It's not pretentious. This recipe really is one of the best lentil soups you'll ever make. (That is, of course, until you try the others on our round-up.)
- Ginger Sweet Potato Coconut Milk Stew With Lentils & Kale. Missing your favorite takeout meal? Whip up this soup in minutes. It looks complicated, but you need under 10 ingredients to whip up this warming, flavor-packed soup, and eight of them are healthy pantry staples.
- Quick and Easy Lentil Quesadillas. Ever feel unsatisfied after microwaving a killer quesadilla? It's probably because you're just eating simple carbs and cheese with barely any protein or fiber to fill you up.
- 1-Pot Tuscan-Style Beef & Lentil Soup. If it didn't sell you as a one-pot recipe, the fact that lentils and beef come together in this beautifully rich red pot of soup might.
- Mexican Chicken Lentil Soup. It's time to stop making soup that only has meat it in. With chicken soups, you're only getting a salty broth with protein. Add lentils in there, and you're getting an extra dose of protein along with filling fiber.
- Mediterranean Lentil Salad. Replace your orzo with lentils and you'll be swapping out refined carbs for complex carbs. What does that mean for you? With healthy lentil recipes like this one, your body will process the complex carbs more slowly, resulting in more even-keeled blood sugar levels that will keep you full rather than famished.
- Cilantro Lime Chicken and Lentil Rice Bowls. Missing out on your weekly Chipotle order?Not a problem. Reach into your pantry and grab some lentils, a jar of salsa verde, and rice and you've got yourself a meal.
- One Pot Shrimp Jambalaya Lentil Bowls. Jambalaya is a cajun dish straight out of Louisiana. It combines Spanish and French culture, pairing meat, vegetables and rice—and in this case, lentils.
- Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Tacos. Ever pick up a ground beef taco only to have a puddle of oil and water drip down the side of your hand when you take a bite?
- Spinach Lentil Fritters. These falafel-like fritters are great to put out as an appetizer before a dinner party, or this blogger recommends making them as an accompaniment to a dinner salad or grilled shrimp.
