Yellow Lentil Soup

This budget friendly comfort soup is great just by itself or with some freshly baked sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large pot, over medium heat, cook the onions in the olive oil until translucent and slightly golden (around 15 minutes).
  2. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tumeric, caynne pepper and cumin, cooking for another minute before adding in the stock (being sure to scrape the flavour from the bottom).
  3. Add in the lentils, carrots and ginger. Reduce heat and leave to simmer, stirring occasionally, until everything is cooked and the soup has reduced a little (about an hour). If a thicker consistency is desired (which it generally is), leave on the heat for a while longer, if not, remove from heat and blend the soup until it is the desired consistency.
NOTE: For those who just want/need it done with as little fuss as possible, follow step one, then throw all the other ingredients in and it will turn out just fine.
