Red Lentil Soup Recipe

Wash and drain 1 cup of red lentils at least three times to remove excess dirt and dust.

Add water and your choice of broth (chicken or vegetable) to the pot.

Add spices: cumin seed, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and turmeric.

Add salt and a pat of butter to the pot.

Bring the soup to a boil.

Dice 1 onion and 1 tomato, then add them to the pot.

Add fresh grated ginger root to the pot.

Turn the heat down, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.

Check if the lentils are soft; if they are, remove the soup from heat.

Add chopped cilantro and finely chopped broccoli to the soup.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon.
