Sweet Apple Lentil Soup

• 1 whole Sweet Onion, Chopped
• 1 teaspoon Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Margarine
• 1 whole Apple, Grated
• 2 whole Carrots, Chopped
• 2 whole Sweet Potato, Chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Curry Powder
• 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
• Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
• 1 teaspoon Minced Fresh Ginger
• 1 clove Garlic, Minced
• 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
• 7 cups Vegetable Stock
• 3/4 cups Lentils (I Use Red)

1. Saute the onion in oil and margarine until translucent (3 minutes). Add the apple and all of the other vegetables and allow to soften slightly (about 3 minutes). Add seasonings, sauteing for an additional 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Allow soup to come to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes (or until the lentils are completely softened). You can leave the soup chunky, or puree it. I usually like to puree half of the mixture, leaving the other half nice and chunky which gives me the best of both worlds. Enjoy!
