Smoky Lentil + Quinoa Soup

Ingredients

1 cup lentils (french, beluga or green/brown)
1/2 cup quinoa
2 large carrots, diced 1/4"
2 stalks celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil or 1/4 cup water for water saute
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted) or 2 fresh tomatoes, diced
6-7 cups vegetable broth or water
2 - 3 bay leafs
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika (if using hot use 1 teaspoon or to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
mineral salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
chopped parsley for garnish


Rinse your lentils well and pick through removing any oddly shaped or colored lentils. Rinse quinoa using a fine mesh strainer to remove any powdery residue.

In a large pot/dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, carrots and garlic, saute for 5 minutes, until onions are tender. Add smoked paprika, cumin, thyme and nutmeg, cook until fragrant, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add in tomatoes, broth, lentils, quinoa, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally and tasting for flavor as you go. Once done, remove from heat, add balsamic vinegar and stir. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Spoon soup into serving dishes and top with chopped parsley.
