Sweet Potato & Lentil Soup

recipe

• Step 1
  Remove the outer skins of the onion and finely dice. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil and cook the onion fors 3-4 minutes.
• Step 2
  Chop the sweet potato and carrots and add to the pot with the onion. Cook for another few minutes.
• Step 3
  Add salt & pepper and the lentils. Optional: Add thyme. Add 1 cup of water per person and bring to a boil.
• Step 4
  Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 30 minutes, or until the sweet potato and carrots are tender.
• Step 5
  Blend using an immersion blender (or regular blender) until smooth. Add some extra water if the soup seems too thick or some heavy green for some extra richness :) Enjoy!
