Ingredients
Directions
Stir together beef stock and lentils in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and keep at a simmer while preparing onion.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, cinnamon stick, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and black pepper in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes; add to stock mixture.
Pour garbanzo beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, and quinoa into stock mixture; stir and bring to a boil. Stir in parsley and cilantro; reduce heat to low and cook at a simmer until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.
Drizzle lemon juice over soup to serve.
Recipe Tips
To make this soup wholly vegetarian, use beef stock instead of vegetable stock.
If you use quinoa, be sure to prepare it separately from the soup (1/2 cup unprepared = 1 cup prepared). Throwing it into the soup unprepared will cause it to absorb all the liquid, and you will be left with a very, very thick stew.
