INDIAN-SPICED LENTIL SOUP
This recipe is from Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson. I changed it slightly by added more lentils and sweet potatoes which makes it really thick, more like stew.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils for a more complex flavor and texture. Brown and green lentils hold their shape well, while red lentils break down and thicken the soup.
- Toast the spices before adding them to the soup to release their full flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of spices to your liking. If you like a spicy soup, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of spices.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings, such as chopped cilantro, plain yogurt, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Indian spiced lentil soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover lentils. With its complex flavors and textures, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
