How to Make Moroccan Spiced Lentil Soup
- In a Dutch oven, bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
- Add 1 cup of rinsed brown or green lentils.
- Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spray a large nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon of nonstick cooking spray.
- Heat over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked onions to the lentils.
- (Optional) For a richer flavor, carefully pour about 1/2 cup of the lentil cooking liquid into the skillet, scraping the bottom and sides to loosen any browned bits. Add this mixture back to the lentils.
- Stir in 2 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and a lemon wedge before serving.
