How to Prepare Ayurvedic Vegetable Lentil Soup With Turmeric [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Start by heating a large pan on medium heat. Add ghee or coconut oil and melt. Add garlic, onion, and fresh ginger and sauté until light golden. Add all your herbs and spices and burst until aroma comes out and spices are open.
Add your hardest vegetables/roots and cook until they look slightly cooked. Transfer to a big pot and add about 1 liter of water. Add the rest of your vegetables and rinsed lentils (they should be already soaked) and cook for about 30-40 minutes, until lentils are soft and the soup is boiling.
Serve with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Notes

Preferably use water-rich vegetables and avoid roots for a lighter version.
