Servings: 3 servings

Prep time: 35 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked lentils Grano Pampa

• 1 medium onion

• 1 carrot

• 1 small potato

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 3 cups broth or water

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Paprika, cumin, and bay leaf (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the base

Finely chop the onion and carrot. In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add the carrot and cook for a few more minutes to release its flavor.

2. Add the ingredients

Add the cooked lentils, diced potato, and hot broth or water. Season with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices.

3. Cook

Let simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until all the ingredients are tender and the flavors are well combined.

4. Blend

Remove from heat and blend using an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth and creamy. You can leave it slightly chunky if you prefer a more rustic texture.

Helpful tip: if the soup is too thick, add a bit more hot broth or water until you reach your desired consistency.

5. Serve

Serve hot, ideally with something crunchy on the side. A drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of seeds adds a nice finishing touch.

And that’s it! Your homemade creamy lentil soup is ready to enjoy.
