How to make:

• Roughly peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-size pieces, dice the garlic (and fresh ginger if using) and add to a large pan on a medium heat.
• Make the stock with boiling water, either using fresh or a stock cube. You can add spoonfuls of the stock to the pan to prevent the garlic burning.
• Add the cumin, salt, pepper and the ground ginger (if you’re not using fresh ginger) and stir together. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.
• Rinse the dried red lentils and then add to the pan, bring down the heat to a high simmer.
• Tear off the coriander leaves and set to one side, chop up the stalks and add to the pan.
• Simmer the soup for twenty minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
• Leave to cool and then blend until smooth.
• When ready to eat, reheat in a pan and then serve with the fresh coriander leaves.
