Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/8 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
600 g carrots, Grated
140 g lentils, split red
1 liter stock, Vegetable
125 ml milk
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan and dry- fry the cumin and chilli flakes just long enough to release the aromas - dont brown them. Save half to sprinkle over the soup when you are ready to serve.
  • Add the oil, carrots (grated), lentils, stock, milk, salt (I use sea salt) and fresh ground pepper.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for about 15-20 minutes. When slightly cooled, blend until smooth.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cumin on the soup, serve with either crusty bread or Naan bread.

This soup is a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a bit too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit more brothy.

This soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much chili powder. Next time I'll use less.
