To make this Spicy Lentil Stew, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup of lentils
- 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion

- 1/2 cup of chopped celery
- 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, rinse the lentils and set them aside. In a large pot, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until they are soft. Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and spices, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, add the lentils and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the stew cook for about 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
When the stew is done, it should be thick and hearty, with a spicy and savory flavor. The lentils should be soft and tender, and the vegetables should be cooked through but still slightly firm.
