Ingredients
1/2 tbsp berbere
1/4 c. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches ginger, minced
14 ounces fire roasted tomatoes or diced tomatoes
12 oz small red lentils
4-5 cups vegetable broth, as needed
Greek yogurt, to serve
Directions
- Add oil to a 4-qt soup pot and sauté the onion until softened and translucent. 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and berbere, stirring continuously to prevent burning. After a minute or two, add the tomatoes and cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.
