- ¾ cup (180 ml) low fat Greek Yogurt
- ¾ cup (140 g) red lentils, dried

- 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.

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the lemon juice.
- Blend it with a hand blender if available, don't worry if you cant.
