Ingredients:

Serving

1 kg sweet potato, peeled and chopped into small pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups dried red lentils
8 cups stock or 8 cups water
1 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper , i use a fair bit

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat and add onion and garlic.
Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and slightly caramelized.
Add stock, sweet potato, 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Simmer the soup for about 30-40 minutes, until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender.
Puree the soup, I usually just use a potato masher. But you could use one of those 'stick' blenders.
If it seems too thick after blending, add another cup of stock or water and stir well.
