Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 carrots, coarsely grated
½ cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
3 ½ cups water
1 cube vegetable bouillon, crumbled
¼ cup milk
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Dry-fry crushed red pepper flakes in a large saucepan until they start to jump around the pan and release their aroma, about 1 minute. Add oil, carrots, and lentils; stir to combine. Add water and crumbled bouillon and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils have swollen and softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Blend soup to desired consistency (smooth or chunky) with an immersion blender or food processor. Stir in milk and cumin. Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds.
