Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup image

This soup is a little spicy, elegant enough for a dinner party, super cheap to make and very tasty... Don't be put off by the lentils - trust me you won't know they are there (and secretly they are so good for you).

5 cups chicken stock or 5 cups water
1 cup red lentil
3 medium onions
750 g sweet potatoes

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup coriander, chopped (or less to your taste)

Steps:

  • Peel and roughly chop the onions and sweet potatoes - can be chunky.
  • Combine with the stock or water, lentils, garlic, cumin, cayenne and turmeric in a pot.
