Servings: 6
Calories: 413kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive oil, divided
- 12 Ounces Soyrizo
- 1 Large Carrots, chopped
- 1/2 a Sweet onion, diced
- 6 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 Jar(8-9 oz) Sun dried tomatoes, chopped*
- 1/4 Cup Canned tomato sauce (tomato puree not ketchup)
- 1 1/2 Cups Lentils, green or brown
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 6 Cups Broth, vegan beef, vegan chicken or vegetable
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Crusty bread for serving
- Vegan goat cheese or other soft cheese for the bread**
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on medium high in a large non-stick pot. Add the soyrizo and break into crumbles with a wooden spoon.
- Sauté, reducing heat as needed, until the soyrizo is cooked and golden brown on the outside. Remove from the pot, put in a bowl and set aside.
- Now, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium high in the same pot. Add the carrots, onion and garlic. Sauté, reducing heat as needed, until the onion is translucent. About 2 to 3 minutes.
- Next, add the sun-dried tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 1 minute.
- Then add the lentils, smoked paprika and cumin. Stir to combine everything.
- Pour the broth and lemon juice into the pot as well as another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir. Then bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium low, so it is at a soft boil. Cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
- Most of the broth should be absorbed, but it should still be a bit "brothy". Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, and lemon if needed.
- Add the cooked soyrizo back to the pot. Stir and let simmer for another minute just to reheat the soyrizo.
- Serve in a bowl. I like to serve with slices of crusty bread. I spread vegan goat cheese onto the slices and then toast in the oven or air fry them. Then use those to dip in the broth!

Notes
*You can use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, or just dry in a package, whichever you prefer.
**I used Treeline vegan goat cheese to spread on my bread.
