Healthy Lentils Vegetables

In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Add the lentils, tomatoes, vegetable broth, cumin and paprika to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for at least an hour, or until the lentils are tender.

Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable broth or water until the desired consistency is reached.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh coriander leaves.
