Yield: 3
Ingredients: 1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped; 1 tsp ground cumin; 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced; ½ cup red lentils, rinsed; 3 cups filtered water or vegetable broth; Juice of ½ lemon; Handful of chopped coriander (optional)

"This comforting soup gets its gentle warmth from the cumin and garlic, while the lemon adds lightness and lifts the flavour. The sweet potato and lentils provide slow-release carbohydrates and plant-based protein for sustained energy, keeping you full for hours. The beta-carotene from the sweet potatoes supports skin, vision and immunity, while the coconut or olive oil helps the body absorb this essential nutrient," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
