today I have a lovely little recipe for you. Lentil soup has always been my favorite since I was very little. The best one I ate was of course the one made by my lovely grandmother. Her kitchen has always been the best in my opinion. But I am sure everyone says that about grannies kitchen. However, my grandmother cooks with meat and therefore I haven't been eating any of her meals in years now. I have to say though that I miss it a lot and I crave a good lentil soup. I simply decided to come up with a recipe myself. I just got some tips from here and the ground rules for making a lentil soup and off I went. 

Also cut onion and garlic and put them in a pot with a bit of coconut or olive oil and stew them until they are transparent. Then add the cumin, coriander and other herbs, stir the mix and take the pot off the heat mixing it another 30 seconds. Set aside.

Put the lentil in the same pot! Then add about 750 ml of water and add the ginger, NO SALT! Bring that to a boil and let it cook with the lid on for about 12 -15 minutes. After that 10 minutes add the potatoes, after 15 the rest of the vegetables and let that cook for another 5 minutes. 

Take the pot of the stove and mix/ fold in the onion, garlic, herbs mixture and add a little bit of salt now.
