Instructions

Prepare your vegetables by washing, peeling, and dicing the potatoes and carrots.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Stir in the lentils, diced potatoes, and carrots until well combined.
Pour in the vegetable broth along with cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, use an immersion blender for a creamier texture before serving.
