4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 medium carrot, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped, divided
2 tablespoons curry powder, or more to taste
1 cup French green lentils
4 cups water
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter

1
In a large heavy pot, heat half the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and carrot, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until onion is translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, then stir in curry powder. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent spices from burning, until spices are fragrant.
2
Add lentils and water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
3
In the meantime, puree chickpeas, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and 1/4 cup of water. Stir puree into lentils, along with butter. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and/or additional curry powder, then thin soup with water until desired consistency.
4
Divide amongst soup bowls and serve garnished with green onion and with lemons on the side.
