Categories: Lentils, Main Dish, Soup

Ingredients

• 5 cups chicken stock or 5 cups water
• 1 cup red lentil
• 3 medium onions
• 750 g sweet potatoes
• 5 garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 cup coriander, chopped (or less to your taste)
• 1 lemon
• salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Peel and roughly chop the onions and sweet potatoes – can be chunky.

2. Combine with the stock or water, lentils, garlic, cumin, cayenne and turmeric in a pot.

3. Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes and lentils are cooked – about 20-30 minutes.

4. Puree the soup, adding in the coriander and the juice of the lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste (lots of pepper for me).
