Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 tbsp minced jalapeno peppers
1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
2 bay leaves
8 oz red lentils, rinsed
8 cups chicken broth or 8 cups vegetarian broth (commercial broth or diluted cubes)
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp mango chutney
2 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup sour cream or 1/3 cup plain yogurt

Directions:

In a 6-quart heavy bottom pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
Stir in the onion, reduce the heat and cook for a few minutes without burning the onion.
Add the garlic, ginger root, jalapeno, curry, cinnamon, cumin and bay leaves and cook, stirring for 2 more minutes.
Add the lentils and broth; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce the heat and cook at a gentle boil for 45 minutes or until the lentils are cooked.
Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Stir in the cilantro, lemon juice and chutney.
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Just before serving, reheat the soup; If the soup is thicker than you like, thin it with more broth.
Garnish the soup with dollops of sour cream or yogurt.
