Smoked Paprika Lentil Soup

(12)
"According to the interwebs, today is #NationalChiliDay and coincidentally my latest recipe is very chili-like. This lentil soup inspired by @thefirstmess is hearty yet nutritious, and plenty smoky thanks to @muirglen fire-roasted tomatoes and @simplyorganicfoods smoked paprika (which I sprinkle on literally everything). It's also way easier to make than it looks - after sauteing a few veggies, you simply toss in dried lentils, store-bought stock, and canned tomatoes and let it simmer for about 30 minutes."
