Method

  1. Crush the seeds in a pestle and mortar, then dry-fry for 2 mins in a large pan until lightly browned. Add the onion, carrots, lentils, orange juice, stock and seasoning, then bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 30 mins until the lentils are soft.
  2. Transfer to a food processor in batches and process until smooth. Return to the pan, then gently reheat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste. Ladle into individual serving bowls, swirl the yogurt over and sprinkle with the chopped coriander leaves and paprika. Serve immediately.

    Added extra carrot and replaced half the oj with stock. Full of flavour, but a bit too runny - will add more lentils next time

    DELICIOUS! I wasn't sure at first because of the orange juice. However, I gave it a try because it seemed pretty healthy. This is a beautiful soup, the flavours work very well together. Once blended it becomes very think so I added about 1/2-1 pint of water, it was still quite thick at the end, but I like soups quite thick. I also added a squeeze of lime at the end to lift the flavours. Lovely. Certainly one I will make again.

    My favourite soup! Adding a tin of tomatoes gives another lovely flavour, and the coriander is essential! Always make this on the weekend to take to work.
