Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the red bell peppers into halves, remove the seeds and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast the peppers in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the skin is charred.
-
While the peppers are roasting, rinse the lentils and cook them according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
-
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel off the charred skin and chop the flesh.
-
Add the roasted peppers, cooked lentils, vegetable stock, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
-
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
-
Serve the roasted pepper and lentil soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
