This Spiced carrot & lentil soup is delicious and really wholesome. I love spiced soups and I always try to add cumin and chilli flakes to my veggie soups for a warm hearty bowl of goodness. The depth of flavor these spices bring to a humble soup always surprises me!
It’s super simple to make too. Start by toasting the cumin seeds and chilli flakes. Reserve half of the toasted spices before adding olive oil and the remaining ingredients to the pan. Simmer until the lentils are soft, then blend and serve topped with plain yogurt and reserved toasted spices.
