A yummy soup that uses my favorite lentils. Adapted from
a Moosewood recipe. This is a good and healthy take-towork
lunch.

1. Add the first 5 ingredients to a large pot; cover and
bring to a boil.
2. Lower the heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until
the lentils and veggies are tender.
3. Take pot from stove burner and set aside.
4. In a small saucepan, add the oil; warm over low heat
until the oil is hot but not smoking.
5. Add in the cumin, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir
constantly for for 2-3 minutes or until the cumin has
released its fragrance (be careful not to scorch the
spices).
6. Set spice mixture aside for 1 minute to cool.
7. Stir spice mixture into the lentil mixture; add
cilantro, stir to combine.
8. You can puree the soup, in batches, in a blender OR
you can use an immersion blender and blend to
desired texture (I like to leave it a little chunky).
9. Add in lemon juice; stir to combine.
10. Rewarm soup in soup pot; season if needed with
salt/pepper.
