Lentil Soup with Herbed Yogurt

This is a hearty soup that is just delicious. Feel free to sprinkle a little more Mediterranean Medley Herb Rub as a garnish along with the yogurt if you so desire.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Mediterranean Medley Herb Rub
1/2 cups lentils (preferably French green)
6 cups (or more) chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Salt (preferably kosher or sea salt) and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup minced mint leaves

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic and sauté until they begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the Mediterranean Herb Rub and lentils and stir 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if the soup is too thick. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and top with dollops of herbed yogurt. Serve with warm pita bread.
