olive oil1 tablespoon
onion1
garlic2 cloves
canned tomatoes1 can
chicken broth2 L
curly parsley1 large bunch
of lentil1 cup
garam masala powder1 teaspoon
curry powder1 tablespoon
chili flakes if desired10 servings
lemon10 servings
Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a big pot over medium heat, add onions and garlic, cook for a few minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 2
Add the tomatoes & the juice, mash them up in small chunks with a wooden spoon.
Step 3
Add the chicken broth, leaving about half of a box for thinning the soup later.
Step 4
Turn heat to maximum, add the parsley and the lentils. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until lentils are soft.
Step 5
Add the masala, curry and chili flakes half way and mix well.
Step 6
Serve with fresh parsley for garnish, with some freshly ground black pepper, and a small wedge of lemon. It really kicks it up a notch (unfortunately I didn't get the lemon when I made this, boo!)
Step 7
I put this soup into individual microwavable containers for lunch, and before taking them to work, I would add a bit of chicken broth, because it thickens up quite a lot
