Spiced carrot and lentil soup




_ Ingredients

onions 2, diced

groundnut oil 2 tbsp

mild curry powder 1 tbsp

carrots 500g, diced

red lentils 4 tbsp

cumin seeds 1 tsp

coriander a small bunch, leaves picked

coconut yogurt or natural yogurt 4 tbsp

vegetable stock 1.5 litres

_ Method

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan and soften the onions and carrots for

 10 minutes. Add the curry powder and fry for 2 minutes before

adding the lentils and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20

minutes until the carrots are tender and lentils soft. Season with

pepper and a little salt if it needs it.


Take off the heat and blend until smooth using a stick blender (or

blend in a food processor then pour back into the pan to reheat).


Heat the rest of the oil in a small frying pan then sizzle the cumin

seeds until golden and fragrant.

Top each bowl of soup with a spoonful of yogurt, the cumin seeds

and a sprinkle of coriander leaves.
