RECIPE:
Ingredients:
2-3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Onion, chopped
2 Celery stalks, diced
2 Carrots, diced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Ginger, grated (optional)
1/2 medium Cabbage (about 8 cups), chopped
1 can (400g) Chopped tomatoes (or 3 fresh ripe tomatoes, diced)
6-8 cups (1.5-2L) Vegetable broth
3/4 cup (140g) Red lentils, rinsed
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 Bay leaves
1½ teaspoons Paprika
1½ teaspoons Cumin
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
Zest from one lemon
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
3-4 tablespoons Parsley, chopped


Directions:
1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened and slightly golden. Stir in celery and carrots, and cook for another 4–5 minutes until they begin to soften.
2. Add garlic and spices: Stir in ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, and basil. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the cabbage: Add chopped cabbage and cook, stirring often, for 4–5 minutes. It will seem like a lot, but it will wilt down as it cooks.
4. Simmer the soup: Add chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, red lentils, aby leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until lentils are tender and flavors meld together.
5. Finish and serve: Turn off the heat, stir in parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with crusty bread.
