First, put the vegetables, stock, garlic and lentils in a large pot; cover and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the lentils and veggies are tender.

Take pot from stove burner and set aside.

In a small saucepan, add the oil; warm over low heat until the oil is hot but not smoking.

Add in the cumin, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes or until the cumin has released its fragrance (be careful not to scorch the spices). Add spice mixture to lentil mixture and stir. Puree mixture in batches in blender or use an immersion blender.  Add the lemon juice if desired.  Season with salt and pepper if needed.

You can garnish the soup with fresh coriander or even a dollop of cream, if you like – make the recipe your own - and enjoy!
