3 medium carrots

3 sticks celery

2129 ml chicken or vegetable broth

1 ½ (398 ml) cans coconut milk

1 ½ limes

3 pears

0.68 kg sweet potato

1 ½ medium yellow onions

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

red lentils, dried

salt

thyme, dried

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Rinse the lentils in a colander or strainer and set aside to drain.

Peel and small dice onions; transfer to a medium bowl.

Peel, trim, and small dice carrots; add to the bowl with the onion.

Preheat a large pot over medium heat.

While the pot heats up, trim and small dice celery; add to the bowl with the other veggies.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add onion, carrot, celery, and spices to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies soften, 4-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and small dice sweet potatoes.

Zest limes and then cut into wedges (set wedges aside for serving).

Add lentils, sweet potato, lime zest, broth, and coconut milk to the pot; stir to combine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Peel, quarter, core, and small dice pears; add to the soup. Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until veggies and lentils are tender, 15-20 minutes.

Divide soup between bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
