Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic. Cook until the onion is softened.

  3. Add the lentils, return to a simmer. Cover and cook 15-20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked.
  4. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree half the soup, return to the pot.
  5. Add sumac and parsley/other herbs, cook 5 minutes longer.
  6. Serve hot with bread and a dollop of yogurt (optional).
