Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 small red chilli, finely sliced
  • 1 cup uncooked red lentils
  • 1 red capsicum, roughly chopped
  • ¼ pumpkin, chopped into 3cm chunks
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 tbsp vegan stock powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup coriander leaves

Method


  • Heat a non-stick saucepan and dry sauté the onions (no oil).
  • Add the turmeric and cumin, mixed with a dash of water to make a slurry, and cook for 30 secs, then add ¼ cup of water to deglaze the pan.
  • Add the chilli, uncooked red lentils, capsicum, pumpkin, water and stock powder. Mix well and bring to the boil, then simmer, covered for 15–20 mins.
  • Once the pumpkin has softened, blend to a smooth soup texture with a handheld stick blender or in a high-speed blender.
