Spiced Sweet Potato Red Lentil Soup - My Gorgeous Recipes (2024)

Spiced Sweet Potato Red Lentil Soup with a heart-warming blend of spices, one of the best Autumn soups that makes the transition from the hot summer to the cold days ahead. Light, but filling, this is healthy, nutritious, and super delicious.

You know already what is my approach to home cooking: nothing too complicated, simple ingredients, good flavours, and no sharp spices that overpower the very taste of the food. There has to be a good balance though between all the ingredients.

And that's what l have used here. The right amount of spices like turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, curry powder and cayenne pepper simply transformed this soup from a (still) tasty soup to a WOW soup.

Now, isn't it a fine combination: red lentils, an excellent source of folate, dietary fibre, countless vitamins and minerals, sweet potato, the Autumn's darling, and carrot, the humble root veggie we all like to munch on.

But, whether you cook with red, brown, or green lentils, they all make a great choice every time you are after healthy food. What l like about the split red lentils is that they cook really fast, no soaking needed whatsover.

How to make spiced red lentil sweet potato soup

But do you now what's so great about this soup? It's so creamy without having a single drop of cream added. By all means, you can add some cream if you like, or soy cream, in case you want to keep it as a vegan soup.

But it really doesn't need any. As for the texture, feel free to add more or less vegetable stock, depending how thick you want it. Feel free to increase the amount of spices too, if you like food rather spiced up.

• in a pan, heat up the oil and sautee the onion
• add the cubed sweet potatoes and carrots, and lentils
• pour over the veggie broth and cook for about 20 minutes until the veggies are tender and the lentils are cooked
• season well and add the spices, then transfer to a blender and blend to the desired consistency

And that's it really, nothing fancy, but I can tell you, this is such a heart-warming soup.
