Preparation

Once you have all the ingredients together, you can start preparing the delicious, vegan lentil soup.

• First, boil the lentils in plenty of water for about a quarter of an hour.
• Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.
• Clean the soup vegetables and cut them into small cubes together with the onion.
• Drain the pre-cooked lentils in a sieve.
• While the lentils are still draining, add the oil to a large saucepan. Then sauté the soup vegetables and the onion a little.
• Then add the potatoes and deglaze everything with the vegetable broth.
• Add the drained lentils and bay leaves and stir all ingredients. Once the soup is simmering, turn the heat down to low to medium.
• The soup must now simmer for at least 30 minutes. It is ready when the diced potatoes are soft. Remember to stir everything in between.
• Finally, taste the soup with salt and pepper, and cumin before serving the soup.
• Before serving, garnish the soup with chopped parsley and enjoy your vegan lentil soup.
