Lentil Soup with Flatbread

Step 1

Rinse the 1 cup red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp ground cumin. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the rinsed lentils and 4 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender and soup thickens, about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like heat, add a pinch of red chili flakes.

Step 6

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with the 4 pieces of flatbread for dipping.
