Indian-Inspired Lentil Soup

• olive oil a splash of
• 1 onion roughly chopped
• cloves a couple, garlic, chopped
• 1 can Italian tomatoes whole
• 2 boxes chicken broth about 2L
• 1 bunch curly parsley washed, stemmed and roughly chopped. And a few for garnish
• 1 lentil dried, rinsed and picked over
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1 tablespoon curry powder or more depends on your taste
• chili flakes if desired
• lemon sliced

1. Heat oil in a big pot over medium heat, add onions and garlic, cook for a few minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
2. Add the tomatoes & the juice, mash them up in small chunks with a wooden spoon.
3. Add the chicken broth, leaving about half of a box for thinning the soup later.
4. Turn heat to maximum, add the parsley and the lentils. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until lentils are soft.
5. Add the masala, curry and chili flakes half way and mix well.
6. Serve with fresh parsley for garnish, with some freshly ground black pepper, and a small wedge of lemon. It really kicks it up a notch (unfortunately I didn't get the lemon when I made this, boo!)
