  • Lentils have been part of cooking around the world for centuries, and they're loved by health-conscious eaters and vegetarians alike. Start your black lentil soup by prepping the ingredients: wash and peel the vegetables as needed; dice the fennel, celery, onion, and carrot into small cubes; mince the garlic very fine; and grate the cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Next, pour the olive oil into a heavy-bottomed pot, warm it slightly, and add the prepped vegetables and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and let the vegetables sweat over low heat, stirring now and then, until soft — about 7–10 minutes. Add the lentils and cook, stirring, for another 2–3 minutes. Then add the demi-glace, the tomatoes, and the water, raise the heat, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, stir, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender (about 20 minutes). At this point the soup is nearly done — taste it for consistency and seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or water if needed, then bring it back to a boil. Turn off the heat, stir in the grated cheese. Serve the black lentil soup once the cheese has fully melted, sprinkled with chopped herbs if you like. Enjoy!
