Lentil and Sweet Potato Soup [Through My Lens Nr. 318]

I love hearty and comforting dishes when the winter season rolls around. I think it’s so cozy and uplifting to eat bright and colorful food in the middle of a grey rainy day. I love lentils and I think they are a perfect source of protein without eating meat. Not that I am vegetarian, but sometimes I really like to cut down on meat. This fits everyone in the end. 

I start by submerging 1 cup of red lentils in warm water until i get the rest of the ingredients chopped up. I chop up one onion, 3-4 cloves of garlic and one small sweet potato. In a deep saucepan i sweat the onion and garlic on some olive oil, add the drained lentils and then add water to cover everything up (i start with two cups). I also add some vegetable stock or you can use salt an pepper. To the mix i also add the diced sweet potato (pealed of course). I cover it with a lid and let it cook for 20 minutes on low heat, then i check and add more water if needed (i usually need more). 

When the lentils and sweet potato are cooked through the dish is done. It’s a one pot wonder and you can add some stock in the end to thin it out and you will end up with a soup consistency or leave it as it is and it will be like a mash. I usually stay in the middle, and eat it with a spoon just like a hearty soup.
