3. Pour in enough vegetable stock to cover the vegetables and simmer until the potatoes, carrots, and lentils are tender.

Notes

Adjust the liquid to get the soup as thick or thin as you prefer.

Blend carefully in batches if your blender is small.

Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat or extra curry powder for a stronger spice profile.

This soup keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days and freezes beautifully.
