- 600g Carrots, sliced lengthways and quartered
- 1 Large brown onion, diced
- 1 Stick celery, chopped
- Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 Cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch Chilli flakes

To serve:
- BRAVE Paprika & Chilli Roasted Peas
- 1 Tbsp Coconut yogurt

- Fresh coriander
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Place your sliced carrots in a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper. Roast the carrots for 30 minutes, until you can pierce them with a fork. Roasting your carrots will take this soup to the next level 🙌
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan on a medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery until tender
- Add the minced garlic, chilli flakes, ground coriander, cumin seeds and smoked paprika and cook for around 30 seconds, until you can smell the spices
- Add the red lentils, carrots, tomato puree and vegetable stock and place a lid on the pan. Simmer for around 25 minutes until the lentils are cooked.
- Let the soup cool a little before adding the 140ml plant-based milk and blending with a stick blender. Taste and season with salt & pepper.
- To serve, pour the soup into your bowls. Mix the coconut yogurt and 1 Tbsp plant-based milk in a separate bowl and drizzle this over the top of your soup, sprinkle with fresh coriander and BRAVE Paprika & Chilli Roasted Peas for extra CRUNCH!
