💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my Lentil Soup Recipe
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 cup /180g Red lentils
2+1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup / 130g Onion - chopped
2 cups / 250g Carrots - chopped in small cubes - 2 medium size carrots
1 cup / 200g Yukon Gold Potatoes - 1 large or 2 small in size
2 Garlic cloves / 2 teaspoons approx.
3 Tablespoon / 42g Tomato Paste
4 Cups / 900ml Vegetable Broth (Low Sodium)
2+1/2 Cup / 575ml Water
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (OPTIONAL)
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+3/4 teaspoon of Pink Himalayan salt)
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 1 teaspoon, I like it a bit sour but you do you)
INGREDIENTS FOR TEMPERING:
1+1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Minced/Grated Garlic or to taste
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Dried Chilies
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the red lentils until water runs clear. Then soak in water for 1 hour.
To a heated pot, add olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, 1/4 teaspoon salt and fry on medium heat until it’s lightly browned. Then add the garlic and fry on medium-low to medium heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add add ground cumin, cayenne, tomato paste and fry on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, soaked/strained red lentils, salt, vegetable broth, water and mix well. Bring to a boil and the reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 30 minutes or until the lentil and potatoes are cooked.
After 30 minutes, uncover to check if the lentils are cooked, if not cooked cover and cook for a bit longer. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down before blending. Blend into a smooth puree and Add lemon juice and also taste for seasoning. Cover and set aside while we prepare the tempering.
TO PREPARE THE TEMPERING:
To a small pan, add olive oil, minced garlic, crushed dried chilies and then heat it up on low to medium-low heat. TURN OFF THE HEAT AS SOON AS the just begins garlic starts to sizzle (DO NOT DELAY) - this will prevent the garlic from burning.
✅👉 NOTE: Be careful not to burn it. BURNT TEMPERING WILL MAKE THE SOUP BITTER.
After turning off the heat add the paprika and mix quickly in the warm oil and add it to the soup.
Mix the tempering in the soup well and RIGHT AWAY COVER THE POT to seal in the flavours and let it rest for 4 to 5 minutes for the flavours to blend.
Serve hot with some toast and a side salad or just by itself. This is a perfect recipe for meal prep so you can make a big batch of it and freeze it in portions to consume later.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
👉 How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You should be able to cut a lentil piece with your nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak longer
👉 Cooking time of the lentils depends on the quality of the lentils. Sometimes one batch of red lentils are drier than the others and may need more cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY. It took me 30 minutes on my stove
👉 Cut the carrots and potatoes in small cubes so that it can cook fast
👉 Adding salt to the onion and carrots will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, then reduce the heat.
👉 Regarding the tempering - Fry on LOW to MEDIUM-LOW heat, just until the garlic starts to sizzle. TURN OFF THE HEAT, AS SOON AS the garlic begins to sizzle (DO NOT DELAY) - this will prevent the garlic from burning. Then quickly mix the paprika in the warm oil and add it to the soup.
✅ Be careful not to burn the ingredients. BURNT TEMPERING WILL MAKE THE SOUP BITTER.
👉 After adding the tempering to the soup, RIGHT AWAY COVER THE POT to seal in the flavour and let it rest for 4 to 5 minutes for the flavours to blend
👉 This is a perfect recipe for meal prep so you can make a big batch of it and freeze it in portions to consume later

Hello Friends! Hope everyone is doing well. As always, I love to hear from you guys! Let me known if you try this recipe :)
Hi, I know how recipes are carefully thought out before you share them. I really want to make this soup. But suppose you had a best friend who did not eat cooked carrots (I do) and you wanted to replace it with another vegetable which one would you go for? Thank you so much! I enjoy watching your videos.
@@FoodImpromptu @@FoodImpromptu ahh I see my folly, I wanted to ask about a vegetable that's not sweet in taste. I don't want to bother you anymore though. I'll try to figure it out. Thank you for such a quick response! ❤
@@rikaahaa that’s not a bother. You could try cauliflower but again the end taste will be completely different. Hope this helps :)
@@FoodImpromptu I like that idea! It will be sauteed with the onions so it will lose its rawness. I'm going to give it a try and get back to you. Thank you! ❤
Beautiful ,and so yummy , this is stable in my house. I use the instant pot or pressure cooker what a great production !thank you ❤❤
I am a diabetic in my 60s who is changing over to a plant-based diet - your recipes are fantastic! Simple, with everyday ingredients. The videos are also art in themselves. So thankful to have found your channel.
Thank you! So glad you like the recipes :)
I love how you put the quantity of all the ingredients in the video and how many grams and millilitres are in the corner of the video too. And thank you for putting the full written recipe below the video! Your content is miles ahead of everyone else!
Thank you! It means a lot 😊
I make my red lentil soup using the same ingredients, the onion-garlic-carrot combo just works. The great thing about this soup is that you can use different spices every time and get a slightly different - but always yummy - dish. Thanks for sharing yours!
Beautifully done every time, very esthetic and topnotch production. What a pleasure and such wonderful recipes. When it comes to cooking channels, you are in a class by your self
Thank you! It means a lot ❤️
Agreed 👍 Yummy recipes everytime 😊🇬🇧
I agree and well said 👏🍻
Thank you so much for this recipe; it has been extremely helpful. I’ve had some serious medical issues this year, which has done two things; first, I’ve lost a scary amount of weight and second, I’m not able to cook as much as I used to. I’m a vegetarian, so it’s been hard to find very simple recipes for my partner to cook for me (he does not enjoy cooking) that are easy to digest but are still very nutritious. This recipe has all that and more - it’s delicious! I’ve had this soup for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at various points over the last 6 months, and I’m not sick of it yet. Seriously, thank you. I know this is an older video, but I wanted you to know I appreciate this so much.
love your channel best vegan recipes
food impromptu game changer
Really enjoyed this soup.
So glad you liked it 😊
Hi there! 😊 I want you to know I made both your Spinach Lentils and Green beans. Excellent dishes, thanks again!
❤️! You are truly inspiring on so many levels. This recipe looks divine also 😋
Enjoy your day!
So Glad you like the recipes 😊
Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot 😊
What can I use instead of tomato paste. I love your life style of eating.
This is absolutely delicious and savory that it did not even need salt. I did sneak in a bit of ground coriander. So comforting.
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😊
Thank you for this amazing recipe, just had it and it was hard to stop after 2 bowls because it tasted so great! Looking forward to cooking more out of your video cookbook (already have soooo many on my list!!) thanks again!!
So awesome to hear that! Glad you liked it 😊
Made it. Loved it! Added kale because I need more greens in my diet and it still tasted great 😁
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊
Whole foods plant based rules.. NYC one ❤️
Agree 100%
That tadka looks delish. I usually use cumin seed. I’ll try it with red pepper flakes. Thanks!
made a double batch of this today - very happy with the results. (note: a double batch calls for about 1/2 of a 6 oz can of tomato paste - why waste lovely tomato paste? use the entire can)
I made this lentil soup tonight in the Instant Pot. Thank you for the inspiration! 😊
So awesome to hear that glad you liked it 😊
This is a very good soup... cooking it already for the third time.

Delicious, nutritious, cheap and easy to make. Perfect.
Great way to make this! I also add a little bit of EVOO at the end, so the soup keeps longer when I make a larger batch.

جميل 🌻
Just done cooking, about to enjoy this soup. No doubt in my mind that it’s going to be delicious! Made quite a few of your recipes and they’re all great! Like really great!
Little side note, for the tempering you say to add paprika at the end but I don’t see the quantity, nothing very important as we can choose to our own taste but maybe you want to add how much you use. Thank you for all you’re great recipes 🙏🏽
Good catch! Thanks, I have now added paprika to the ingredient list. So glad you’re enjoying the recipes 😊
Thank you 🙏🏽
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
I feel pulled from what I was just doing to assure at once that I have all the ingredients needed for this lentil soup. As always when Food Impromptu posts another culinary and audiovisual delight. If only the olfactory element were exportable and tariff-free, too. I don't think I could abandon my computer screen.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
I left my chunky

This looks wonderful. We're due for a cold snap this week so I will be making this soon. It'll be lovely and warming.
Question: do you have a recipe for chickpea pancakes? I looked and didn't see one. There's the avocado flatbread that could use it I think. I have a giant bag of chickpea flour that I got to make your excellent black bean burgers and wanted to use it more often. The one I found has flour, water, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic/onion powder, turmeric, black pepper, baking soda and a little lemon juice. I added thinly sliced scallions and they were delicious but I bet a recipe from you would be even better. I ate them as is but I think they'd make a good wrap as well. If you have a recipe to share, I'd be grateful.
Thanks! Will add it to the list of my future videos :)
Looks delicious. Try the turkish lentil soup, its quicker to make.
Hello friend! I love your recipes. This is really delicious ❤. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
I have just discovered your channel! Your recipes are amazing! I want to give each one a try. Do you have any barley-based dishes?
Thanks! Yes, I do have barley recipes. Will add it to my list :)
Great video!! Where can I purchase the hand blender and the hand juicer from and what is the brand name? Thank you for sharing with us!
It’s a kitchen aid hand blender :)
🙏
🥰
What brand is the lemon squeezer?
Thanks, I will definitely be making this soon, what is the difference between vegetable broth and vegetable stock, I haven’t used broth before, would it work with veg stock cubes?
Vegetable broth and stock are basically the same. The only one difference I can point out is broth uses trimmed vegetables and stock uses vegetables with peels/trimmings.
Sure vegetable stock cubes will work too. Let me know how it goes :)
@@FoodImpromptu great!, thanks for the reply,I will let you know how it went, looks delicious and healthy, can I use split red lentils?, I have them here and all the other ingredients
@@stevenvitali7404 Sure! as long as they are red lentils :)
@@FoodImpromptu yes they’re red ones, great thanks again
👍👍👍🥰😘😘😘😘🙏🏼
We can use other lentiles ?
Bravo on this video! You got a new sub from me! I recently made an Autumn Soup on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected my fellow chef! 😁
I don’t have a hand blender. Can I use a regular blender?
Yes
Is it possible to avoid using oil to cook the spices and use water instead? ~ Ginger
Of course it is.
sure, but the spices bloom better in a bit of oil. you can fry it dry, when it smells fragrant add it in. careful not to burn.
I think I would reduce the water to only one cup as it looks too runny. I like my soup a little bit on the thicker side.
this is dal thadka
Can you make a new category of cooking vegetables without using any oil? Whole food plant based recipes. It will be the healthiest category.
I have a rhetorical question for you: How can someone claim that she's health conscious and yet is using non-stick pots and pans?!? Have you even heard about how carcinogenic are all these coatings?
