Tasting Notes: Red lentils and cumin have a toated, nutty flavor that are perfect compliments to the earthiness of Pinot.
Serena's Tips: This is a really easy and satisyfing lentl soup. We saute the carrot with the onions and garlic. The amount of water to add is more about texture, if you like a thick soup, reduce the amount of water from 2 cups to 1 or 1.5 cups.
