Magical Gnome Lentil Soup

Here is my recipe for lentil soup. It’s quick, easy, tasty, and vegan, just like the magical gnomes make it.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lentils
• 3 quarts of water
• 3 to 5 cloves of garlic
• 1 large onion
• 5 carrots of average size
• 2 t cumin
• 2 t paprika
• 1 t salt
• 3/4 t black pepper (or to taste)
• 2 T olive oil
• the juice of half a lemon

Instructions

Sort and rinse the lentils, put them in the water, and boil them for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the carrots, chop them and the onion, and crush the garlic. Reduce the heat, and add the onion, garlic, carrots, and all the remaining ingredients. Let it simmer, stirring the pot frequently, until the carrots are cooked. Optionally, for a creamier soup, you can puree a few cups of it and return it to the pot.
