How to make it
- I recommend using a deep non stick pot.
- Prep everything and have ready to use
- Pre soak the lentils for one hour
- Pre soak split peas also separately
- Sweat the onion in a pan with 1-2 tbl spoon of olive oil
- Add all the spices and stir together well
- Add all the vegetables with the lentils and split peas and stir together well to let them absorb the spices on their own for about 'up to' 5 minutes max. careful not too burn and dry out
- Then add the tomatoes, the vegetable stock and the puree/paste
- Bring to the boil and simmer for up to 40 minutes or until the vegetables are tender (please do not overcook the vegetables as are great with a bit of bite), you can tell yourself
- Add the coriander half way through the simmering process and stir the soup frequently
- This soup is actually much nicer the next day when it has settled, infused and absorbed
- i eat with fresh multi seed bread
