Spiced Carrot and Red Lentil Soup

Step 1

Get a pot, pop it on a low heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Cut the carrots, onion and grate the garlic.

Step 3

Throw them in the pot, cook for a minute or two and chuck the lentils in after.

Step 4

Stir a little until the lentils are covered with oil (they open their pores which then tastes better).

Step 5

Add the vegetable stock and yoghurt.

Step 6

Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes on low heat.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice.

Step 9

Blend it with a hand blender if available, don't worry if you cant.

Step 10

Ready (eat with bread, add your favourite herbs for variety, and some more yoghurt or sour cream)
