To make this soup, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup of lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 cups of vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste


To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the red bell pepper in half and remove the seeds and stem. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Once the pepper is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, chop the pepper into small pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the chopped roasted red pepper and lentils to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Once the lentils are cooked, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
