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.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. It was so easy to just throw all the ingredients in and let it cook all day.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This soup is delicious and easy to make. I used green lentils and added a bit of cumin and coriander to the spice mix. The soup was hearty and flavorful, and it was a great way to use up some leftover carrots.
