Instructions

  1. • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
    • Cut carrot and potato into bite-sized chunks.
    • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with
    olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
    Spread out evenly, then roast until tender,
    20-25 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, finely chop onion and garlic.
    Rinse red lentils.
  2. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
    over medium-high heat. Cook onion until tender,
    4-5 minutes.
    • Add Sri Lankan spice blend, ginger paste and
    half the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
  3. • Add lentils, coconut milk, the water and
    vegetable stock powder to the saucepan.
    • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to
    medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally,
    until lentils are cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
  4. • While the soup simmers, place flatbreads on
    a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil,
    then evenly sprinkle over shredded Cheddar
    cheese and remaining garlic.
    • When the soup has 5 minutes remaining, bake
    flatbreads until cheese is melted and bubbling,
    4-7 minutes.
  5. • Remove saucepan from the heat, then add
    the honey, baby spinach leaves and roasted
    veggies and stir until spinach is wilted.
    TIP: Add another splash of water to your soup if you
    prefer a thinner consistency.
  6. • Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using).
    • Divide Sri Lankan-spiced lentil and veggie soup
    between bowls. Top with Greek-style yoghurt
    and chilli.
    • Tear over coriander leaves. Serve with cheesy
    garlic flatbreads. Enjoy!
