Step 1
Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, celery and garlic, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, tomato, and cumin and sauté, stirring, 2 minutes. Add lentils, paprika, coriander and 5 cups broth and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes (add more broth if soup becomes too thick for your taste).
