Made a wonderful red lentil soup today - very easy and totally yummy.

1 cup grated carrots
1 small bell pepper, chopped
1 14 oz. can chopped tomatoes

1 1/2 cups red lentils
3 bay leaves
2 quarter size slices of fresh ginger
6 cups water

1 onion, chopped

1 1/2 tsps. cumin & coriander
dash cayenne pepper
2 Tsps. fresh lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Sautee the carrots and peppers in a little olive oil.  Meanwhile, rinse and sort the lentils.  After carrots and peppers are soft, add lentils, water, bay leaves and ginger to pot.  Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins or until lentils are tender.

While lentils are simmering, chop onion finely, and sautee in a little more oil until brown.  When they are brown, add coriander, cumin and cayenne.  Turn off heat.

When lentils are ready, remove bay leaves and ginger slices.  Add onion mixture to pot, along with salt, pepper and lemon juice. 

Easy peasy, and excellent!
