 4 cloves garlic, minced
 1 large carrot, diced
 ½ tsp smoked paprika
 ¾ tsp ground cumin
 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes

 2 bay leaves
 1 tsp salt
 1 (14.5 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
 ½ cup green beans, fresh or frozen

Instructions

In a large pot, heat water over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. If the pan starts to brown, add 2 additional tablespoons of water.

2

Add garlic, carrots, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently so garlic doesn’t brown.

3

Add the broth, diced tomatoes, red lentils, thyme, bay leaves, and salt and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.

4

Add chickpeas, cover pot, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

5

Take out the bay leaves, and then transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Add the pureed soup back in the pot and stir.

6

Add green beans and peas and simmer until vegetables are tender.
