Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a large Dutch oven (6 quarts), heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, carrot, celery, and salt and sauté for about 6-7 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin, and grains of paradise and stir well. Increase the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook at a gentle simmer until the lentils are tender, about 35-40 minutes. Using a hand blender, puree the soup to your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
