Curried Lentil Soup

 

I wanted something that would be gentle on the stomach, but I didn’t want congee.

• 1/2 cup yellow lentils, soaked overnight and drained
• 2 cups water
• 6 cloves
• 6 green cardamom pods
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp salt

1. Put everything in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours.
2. Gently whisk the soup before serving.
