Lovely Lentil Soup

Emily Waltman

½ small onion 2 large carrots 2 celery sticks 2 T veg oil 1 c split red lentils (if you can’t find these, other lentils will work) 1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped 14 fl oz veg or chicken stock 1 lemon Cilantro to garnish Directions: Chop all the veg. Saute the onion, carrot and celery in the veg oil for about 5 min or until softened. Add the lentils and sweet potato and pour over the stock. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. You can serve like this, or we like to partly puree with blender or mixer. Serve with lemon slices to squeeze fresh juice on soup.
