Chop the onion and carrot small and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Wash the red lentils and add them to the vegetable base.
Add the water and rosemary, and cook for 25 minutes, until the lentils break down.
Remove the rosemary sprig; if it waits too long, it can make the soup bitter.
Blend the soup and heat for 3 minutes.
💡 Tip: Cook the rosemary as a whole sprig and remove it at the end; the leaves can stay tough in the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot in soup bowls with lemon and olive oil drizzled on top.
