Warming, spiced carrot and lentil soup
Equipment
- Stove top pot/casserole dish
- Stick blender / stand blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 600 g Grated Carrots
- 150 g Split Red Lentils washed

Instructions
- Start by prepping your veggies - finely chopping the onion and garlic plus peeling and grating your carrots
- Get your pan on to heat, with your tbsp of oil. Once warm, add the onion and garlic - allow to sauté for a few minutes until translucent and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper
- While the onion cooks, pop your lentils into a sieve and rinse thoroughly - set aside for a moment
- Add grated carrots and curry powder - stir and allow the curry powder to coat all the veggies and become fragrant
- Add the lentils and stock to the pot, give it a good stir
- Allow the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft/cooked through
- Blend - using a stick blender or transfers to a stand blender or even food processor
- I like to keep mine a little thick & chunky - serve with pumpkin seeds for crunch, some extra chilli, coriander and soured cream
- Taste before serving, season further if required
- You can keep this warm on the hob until serving if required
