• 1 to 2 teaspoons Garlic Luxe Garlic Salt, plus more to taste

2. Add the onion and red pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. Add the tomatoes and cook another 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to break down.

4. Stir in the red lentils, Garlic Luxe Garlic Salt, black pepper, and paprika or cumin if using.

5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

6. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the lentils are very soft.

7. Add a little water or more broth if the soup gets too thick.

8. Blend if you want it smooth, or leave it as is for more texture.

9. Taste and adjust seasoning carefully, since the garlic salt already adds salt.

10. Finish with a little lemon juice if you like.

Tip

Because Garlic Luxe Garlic Salt replaces both garlic and salt, start with less and add more at the end after tasting.
