Lentil Soup with Burrata

This easy Lentil Soup with Burrata comes together quickly with just a few pantry staples. It has cozy, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean from garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, set off by fresh basil. I also add a splash of balsamic vinegar to heighten the brightness and top each bowl with a quarter of burrata cheese. As the burrata melts into the warm soup, it adds that creamy goodness we all crave.

First up, sauté the onions and carrots over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Then add the garlic and spices and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the dried green lentils and toast them for a minute. Next, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until the lentils are soft but not falling apart. Season the soup with balsamic vinegar, salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle in bowls and serve topped with burrata and thinly sliced basil leaves. Enjoy!
