    ​

    ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

    1 large onion, diced

    2 carrots, diced

    3 cloves garlic, minced

    2 Tbs. tomato paste

    2 bay leaves

    ½ lb. (1¼ cups) black, green, brown, or red lentils, or yellow split peas, rinsed and picked over

    1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes

    pinch of cumin (optional, to taste)

    1½ tsp. kosher salt

    freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    1 chipotle in adobo sauce (I Love this stuff)

    chili pepper of choice

    Purée 2 cups of the basic soup in a blender with 1 chipotle in adobo or 1 tsp. chipotle powder. In a medium pot, bring the puréed soup plus 2 more cups of the basic soup to a simmer. Top each cup of soup with a few thin slices of fresh chile pepper (try jalapeño, fresno, or serrano), 1/8 of a sliced avocado, and a few fresh cilantro leaves.
