There's nothing better then lentil soup made from scratch on a cold winter's night. This soup is healthy, delicious, vegetarian, and easy to make.
Lentil Soup
oil for frying
1 onion
1 leek
1 fennel
3 carrots
half a butternut pumkin (or full if its small)
2 cups of lentils (orange lentils)
1 cup cilantro (finally chopped)
2-3 cm of fresh ginger, (chopped)
1 tsp of oriental cumin
1tsp of paprika
chicken stock
salt&pepper
spring onion for topping
Instructions
Heat up some cooking oil in a big pot. Roughly chop onions and throw them in together with the ginger. Add the spices. Chop the leek, fennel and carrots and throw them in once the onions soften. Peel and chop the squash and put that in as well. Pour water in the pot (enough to cover vegetables). Simmer till the carrots are soft which takes approx. 20 minutes. Put in two cups of orange lentils. Season with salt, pepper and chicken stock. Simmer for another 20 minutes until lentils are soft. Throw in the cilantro and use a hand mixer to blend until smooth. Just before serving top it off with chopped spring onion. Enjoy!
