Ingredients

1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup red lentils
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

Combine cumin seed, turmeric, ground cumin, and coriander in the bottom of a heavy 6- to 8-quart stockpot. Cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add olive oil, followed by onion and garlic; cook until onion begins to soften and garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable broth, tomatoes, lentils, salt, and white pepper.
Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Continue to simmer until lentils are cooked through and tender, about 1 hour.
