This soup is a little spicy, elegant enough for a dinner party, super cheap to make and very tasty... Don't be put off by the lentils - trust me you won't know they are there (and secretly they are so good for you). 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).
