Ingredients

  • 6 medium to small carrot, peeled
  • 1 whole medium sized onion
  • 1 large ripe plantain
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 4 cups Pacific Foods™® Organic Creamy Garden Tomato Oat Milk Soup
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 pound dry green lentils, sprouted (see tip for how)
  • 1 whole lemon juiced
  • as needed vegan crema to garnish
  • as needed fresh parsley or cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven at 400°F. Rinse carrots, peel onion and plantain. Roughly chop vegetables and do not finely chop you may chop them into bite size pieces. All vegetables will go in a bowl, add oil then seasonings. Mix well and add them into a baking pan, layer evenly.

  • Step 2

    Bake for 35 minutes on the top rack. While that's baking, simmer sprouted lentils with soup and water.  Keep the pot to high heat (takes about 5 minutes) until it reaches a simmer, then lower heat to medium and let this cook for 30 minutes or until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally. Check on it every now and then making sure it doesn't overflow or burn. 

  • Step 3

    Add roasted vegetables to the lentil soup.  Stir in the juice from the lemon. Mix well then serve topped with vegan crema and parsley or cilantro. 

Tips

  • To sprout lentils, rinse and soak lentils for 12 hours or overnight. Then leave them inside a sieve covered with a towel for 24 hours. Once it starts sprouting you’ll know they are ready to be cooked. This step is not necessary but it does save time on cooking time and also helps digestion.
