Ingredients
- 1 cup brown lentils
- 1 cup carrots (about 3-4 small carrots)
- 6 teaspoons Yondu Seasoing (for 6 cups of boiling water)
- 1 cup onion (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium russet potato (diced)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 halve lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Saute onion and carrots in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Then add garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Set mixture aside in a small bowl.
- In the same stock pot, add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add 6 teaspoons of Yondu and mix well. Then add back the onion, carrots and garlic. Add cumin, turmeric, lentils and potatoes. Let it come back to a slight boil and then turn down low and cook for 20-30 minutes (until lentils are tender to your liking).
- Salt to taste, if needed, once it is finished cooking. If you’d like you can squeeze in the juice of half a lemon into the pot or add lemon slices to your bowl. Enjoy!

Notes
- Make it creamy. If you like to make a creamier and richer version of this soup, you can add a splash of full-fat coconut milk to the mix or add a dollop of vegan yogurt before serving.
- Make it thicker. The potato and lentils will give the soup a thick consistency, but if you want to give it more volume, you can place half of the soup mixture in a blender and puree it then add it back to the pot. You can also use an immersion hand blender and blend until everything is smooth and thick.
- Give it a spicy kick. If you like your soup on the spicy side, you can add red chili flakes, cayenne, or chili powder to the mix.
