Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup

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

• 1⁄2 cup  coriander, chopped (or less to your taste)

Directions

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