Step 1

Heat oil in medium pot over medium heat. Add leeks, peppers, onions and carrots to pot. Cook vegetables, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 7 minutes; add garlic, paprika and cumin, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato sauce.

Step 2

Add chicken bouillon mixture and lentils; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover pot. Simmer until lentils are almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Transfer 1/2 cup of soup to large glass measuring cup and puree using an immersion blender until smooth. Stir pureed soup back into soup pot until combined. Divide soup evenly among bowls. Garnish with parsley and serve.
