What you need:

• 1 teaspoon oil

• 1 onion, chopped

• 2 garlics, chopped

• 1 medium cauliflower, cut into smaller chunks

• 4 medium carrots, cut

• 2 litres vegetable broth (I usually make 2 litres of this soup so I adjust the amount of my stock according to this)

• 200g red lentils, rinsed

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin (or more)

• 2 teaspoons ground coriander (or more)

• 2 teaspoons mild curry (or more)

• 2 teaspoons ground tandoori spice or masala powder (or more)

• 1 tablespoon lemon, squeezed

• Salt

How to make it:

1. In a big soup pot heat up the oil. Add onion and cook till tender. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. (Add a splash of water to prevent it from burning if you need to).

2. Add all the spices, salt and mix it well.

3. Add cauliflower, carrots and mix it well, your vegetables should be nicely coated with the spices. Cook covered for 3 minutes.

4. Add vegetable broth. Your vegetable should be covered with vegetable broth if they are not just add more water.

5. Cook covered for 10 minutes.

6. Add lentils and mix it well. Cook till your vegetables and lentils are tender around 10 – 15 minutes.

7. Add lemon juice and mix it well.

8. Put half of the soup into the blender and blend it till smooth.

9. Pour your blended mixture back to the soup. Mix it well.

10. Taste it and add more seasoning if you need to.

11. Enjoy

Notes:

It makes around 4 portions so share it with your loved ones or store it in the fridge.

You can freeze leftover soup.

Buy your beans & legumes in a bulk shop (if available) or in the biggest possible packaging in order to reduce your waste. I always cook my beans/chickpeas in advance and I store them portioned in the freezer.

When you make it take a picture and post it in our community chat. Would love to see it.
