Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized pot, heat the oil over medium heat until simmering. Add onions and sauté until lightly browned.
  2. Add celery and carrots to the pot. Cook until all the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add dry spices and cook for a couple of minutes. Add enough water to fill half of the pot, about 7 and 1/2 cups. Increase the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.
  4. Add sweet potatoes and dry lentils. Mix well. Once the soup is boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer. Mix frequently to avoid burning.
  5. Simmer until lentils are soft, about 30 minutes. Continue until the soup is to desired consistency. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
  6. The final result should be a thick soup. Add more water if needed to desired consistency.
  7. Serve and enjoy.
