Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil; 2 small yellow onions, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 can (14 ounces) diced or whole peeled tomatoes; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 2 tablespoons paprika; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne; 1 bay leaf; 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth; 1 cup red lentils; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 small yellow onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14 ounces) diced or whole peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 bay leaf
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup red lentils
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1
Rinse the lentils well and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and golden.
2
Add the tomato paste, paprika, and cayenne, and cook an additional two minutes, stirring often. Add the lentils, stock, bay leaf, tomatoes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then simmer 10-15 minutes, until the lentils are soft and the tomatoes have broken up. I like to cut them up with a pair of scissors.
3
Add the fresh thyme, reserving some for garnish, and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes. Taste for seasoning and serve with fresh thyme as garnish.
