SPICY LENTIL SOUP
Soup is one of my favorite comfort foods. Most soups take only a few minutes to prepare and then a little time to simmer. I often make and take homemade soup to friends who are in need of a bit of comforting. This one makes four small servings, and is perfect for vegetarians and spice lovers.

Steps:
- Wash and pick over lentils. Cover with water and leave to soak for 15 minutes.
- While lentils are soaking, prepare other ingredients for use.
- When everything is ready, drain lentils and set aside.
- Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger until onion is translucent.
- Stir in turmeric, cumin and chili powder, and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Add lentils, zucchini, carrot, vegetable stock, salt and pepper (if needed). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes (until vegetables are almost tender). Spoon off scum as needed.
- Add linguine pieces and simmer another 10-15 minutes (until pasta is al dente). I used only 1 ounce of linguine, but you could use more to add body to the soup.
- To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro and a dollop of cream, sour cream or Neufchatel cheese.
