  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Add the lentils, onion, carrots, celery, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and smoked paprika to the slow cooker.

Notes

If the soup thickens in the fridge, add a little extra broth when reheating to loosen it back to your preferred texture. Cilantro brightens the warm spices at the end, so add it only when serving. The flavors stay balanced for up to four days when stored in the refrigerator.
