Winter Spiced Lentil Vegetable Soup with Fresh Coriander

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots. Finely chop the brown onion. Set all aside.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.

Add the peeled and diced carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle in the winter soup spices and stir to coat the vegetables.

Prepare the vegetable stock by dissolving each cube in 450ml of boiling water, then pour it into the pot. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and add the tinned lentils. Let the soup cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Finely chop the fresh coriander while the soup simmers.

Check that the vegetables are tender. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Remove from heat, stir in the fresh coriander, and mix well.

Ladle into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy your winter spiced vegetable and lentil soup!
