Ingredients

- 2 carrot
- 1 onion
- 5 cups (1250 ml) vegetable broth
- 1 cup (250 ml) natural yogurt
- 1 cup (200 g) red lentils, dried

Optional:
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (1 clove = ½ tsp dried)
Instructions
- Get a pot, pop it on a low heat and add the olive oil.
- Cut the carrots, onion and grate the garlic.
- Throw them in the pot, cook for a minute or two and chuck the lentils in after.
- Stir a little until the lentils are covered with oil (they open their pores which then tastes better).
- Add the vegetable broth and yogurt.
- Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes on low heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the lemon juice.
- Blend it with a hand blender if available, don't worry if you cant.
