Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
Pinch of cayenne
1/2 pound brown lentils (about 1 1/8 cups), picked over and rinsed
1 small onion, cut in half
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 quarts water
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup chopped cilantro (from 1 large bunch)
Plain low-fat yogurt for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat, and add the garlic. Stir until fragrant, about a minute, and stir in the cumin and cayenne. Add the lentils, onion, bay leaf, water and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 40 minutes, until the lentils are tender and the broth aromatic. Add pepper, taste and adjust salt. Remove the halved onion and the bay leaf.
  • Coarsely puree the soup in an immersion blender or food mill. Alternatively, puree half the soup in blender, 1 1/2 cups at time, being careful to cover the top of the blender with a towel to avoid hot splashes, then stir back into the soup. Heat through.
