Instructions

  1. Add the onion and garlic to a large pot with a tablespoon of water or broth (or oil if preferred) and sauté over medium heat until translucent, approx. 5 minutes.
  2. Then add all the remaining ingredients except the lemon juice. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are cooked and the carrots and sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally.
  3. Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Then add the lemon juice, salt and pepper to your taste, and enjoy.

Notes

  •  
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. 
  • Start with 8 cups of broth, but add more if you prefer a thinner soup.
  • As leftovers sit in the fridge, the soup will thicken. You may add more water or broth when reheating if you want to thin out the soup.
