A velvety, golden soup of sweet carrots and red lentils with warming ginger and garlic, finished with savoury miso and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil. It’s a comforting, plant-based bowl made in one pot. Red lentils provide plant protein and fibre, and carrots are packed with vitamin A.

Heat the olive oil in the saucepan over a medium heat. Cook the onion until soft (5 minutes).

2.

Stir in the garlic and ginger for 1 minute.

Add the carrots, lentils, stock and 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer until the carrots are tender and the lentils are soft (25 minutes).
