Red Lentil Soup With Smoked Paprika Recipe

Red lentils are perfect for plant-based weeknight dishes. They are hulled and split, which means they cook up fast. In this soup, they are cooked with vegetables and seasoned with cumin and smoked paprika to highlight their earthy flavor. Use your favorite fruity olive oil to garnish this soup as a nice contrast to the smoky flavor and hearty texture. Note: smoked paprika is a spanish staple. Look for pimentn ahumado in specialty food stores, spice shops, spanish food stores, or buy online here.
