Directions:
1.Wash hands well with soap and warm water. Wash produce well.
2.In a large pot, combine lentils, broth, onion, carrot, garlic, tomato paste, and cumin and bring to a boil over high heat.
3.Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are very tender and lentils begin to fall apart, about 25 minutes.
4.Serve hot.
Or, for a smoother soup: remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to quickly blend the soup until it is creamy but not completely puréed.
Or, you can carefully blend about half the soup in a blender, but use caution when blending hot liquids: blend only in small batches, hold the lid down firmly with a kitchen towel, and begin blending on low speed.
Add salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges and a mint garnish if desired.
