Ingredients

1 ½ cups dried red lentils, rinsed
1 ½ tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion, diced
1 cup canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
3/4 tsp hot pepper flakes, divided
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Lime wedges, for serving
4 cups DORITOS^® COOL RANCH^® Flavored Tortilla Chips

Instructions

Step 1
In medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, cook red lentils and 5 cups water; bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes or until lentils are falling apart and very tender.

Step 2
Meanwhile, in large saucepan set over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and starting to brown. Stir in tomatoes and 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Stir lentil mixture into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until flavors are married. Using immersion blender, purée soup until smooth.

Step 4
Divide soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with parsley and remaining hot pepper flakes. Serve with lime wedges, and DORITOS^® COOL RANCH^® Flavored Tortilla Chips for dipping.
