Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, smoked paprika and cumin; cook, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn&#8217;t brown, about 2 minutes more.<\/li>\n<li>Add the broth, diced tomatoes, red lentils, thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer; cook for ten minutes. Add the chickpeas, cover the pot and cook 10 minutes more. Fish out the bay leaves, then transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender and pur\u00e9e until smooth. Add the pur\u00e9ed soup back to the pot and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add a good bit more salt); if you want the soup to be thicker, pur\u00e9e a bit more soup.<\/li>\n<li>Add the cooked vegetables, frozen peas or chopped greens and simmer until the soup is hot and the vegetables are warmed through. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.<\/li>\n<li>Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serves: 6 servings Source: Once Upon a Chef Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 large carrot, diced Heaping 1\/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 3\/4 teaspoon cumin 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1\/3 cup red lentils 1\/2 teaspoon dried thyme [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-soups","category-vegetarian"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5765\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.darcyparks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
