Preparation steps

1.

Rinse lentils in a colander. Rinse soup vegetables and cut into small cubes. Peel and finely chop onion. In a saucepan, fry lentils, soup vegetables, and onion in butter. Deglaze with vegetable broth, bring to a boil and cook until lentils are al dente, about 35 minutes.

2.

Meanwhile, rinse and trim Brussels sprouts. Add sprouts to a pan of salted boiling water and stir in baking soda. Cook about 12 minutes, then drain and plunge sprouts into ice water. Drain well.

3.

Season lentils with salt and pepper. Rinse and halve cherry tomatoes. Rinse thyme and strip leaves from 2 stems.

4.

Five minutes before the end of the cooking time, add Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and thyme to lentils. Bring to a boil. Lift lentils and vegetables with a skimmer and place in soup bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with the remaining thyme.
