- 1 large onion diced
- 1 pound or 6 large carrots diced

- Next add ginger, garlic and cinnamon and cook another 2-3 minutes
- Add all other ingredients including the soaked lentils, bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 mins
- Before pureeing make sure lentils are soft but still intact – if they are still hard, simmer for another 10 mins or so

It’s hearty and satisfying and goes perfectly with a nice raw green salad. ***Please buy all organic ingredients if possible***
