Your whole house will smell heavenly when you’re cooking this comforting, fragrant curry red lentil soup. Red lentils are a great source of protein and it’s filling enough to be a one-bowl meal. Try making it on a weekend and enjoy it for days to come – it only gets better and better with age.

Rinse and drain the lentils in cool water. Then place the lentils, stock and water in a large pot. Simmer for 5 minutes until the foam rises to the top and skim that off.

Then add your onion, carrots, celery, garlic and cook at a medium temperature uncovered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

Next, add the cilantro/coriander, curry powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for another 15-20 minutes. At the end, add in the lemon juice and more salt and pepper if you desire.
