Saute a small chopped onion in a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan until soft: add a couple of crushed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and1 tsp curry powder or paste. Add 1 medium dark fleshed sweet potato, peeled and diced, 2 chopped carrots, ½ cup dry orange lentils,4 cups (1L) chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until all vegetables are very soft. Season with salt and pepper, add a splash of cream or plain yogurt, and puree in batches in a blender or directly in the pot with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. Serves 6.
