Yellow Lentil Soup

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Orange lentil (split lentil)

• 2 carrots washed, peeled roughly chopped
• 1 potato, washed, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 Onion, roughly chopped
• 3-4 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Cumin
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp All Spice
• 1 tsp Turmeric
• 6 cups Water Or more depending on how thin you like your soup

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a pot, heat your olive oil and fry your onions until browned
2. Drop in your carrots, potatoes, and spices. Fry them for a couple of
minutes together to enhance the flavors
3. Drop in your washed lentils, fry them around for a few minutes then
pour in the water
4. Bring it to a boil, cover the pot, and let it cook on medium low heat
until the lentils and vegetables have cooked thru. About 25-30 mins (scrape
the bottom of the pot halfway so the lentils don’t stick)
5. Remove off heat and gently blend, careful not to splatter the hot
soup on your face
6. Serve with a squeezed of lemon juice and some croutons
7. If you wish to reheat you might need to add more water as lentils
absorb the liquid. If you do, please adjust the seasoning to taste
