Further Food Commentary:
This Carrot Lentil Soup is packed with healthy nutrients and perfect for a cozy night in. Red lentils are a great protein source, especially for vegetarians - 1 cup is almost 40% of your daily intake. They are also very low in fat and have a good dose of iron and B vitamins. The ginger in Superfood Turmeric also adds tons of benefits. Not only is it anti-inflammatory and full of antioxidants, it can help with things like nausea, muscle soreness, and even regulating blood glucose.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high.
Add the onions, carrots and sweet potato.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes, or until just beginning to brown, then add the Superfood Turmeric and cayenne and cook for 2 more minutes, or until spices are fragrant.
Add lentils and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to heat to low and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and lentils are cooked.
Pulse in food processor or blender until ingredients are combined but soup still has texture.
