Ingredients:
5 cups chicken stock or 5 cups water
1 cup red lentils
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 lemons
salt and black pepper
Directions:
Peel and roughly chop the onions and sweet potatoes – can be chunky.
Combine with the stock or water, lentils, garlic, cumin, cayenne and turmeric in a pot.
Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes and lentils are cooked – about 20-30 minutes.
Puree the soup, adding in the coriander and the juice of the lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste (lots of pepper for me).
