Sometimes we crave something really simple, comforting, yet full of flavor. And that’s exactly what this soup is.

Roasting is the small detail that makes a huge difference in any soup.

In recent days, you can feel that spring is approaching—the mornings are getting lighter a little earlier, and people naturally crave lighter and fresher foods.

This bowl full of aromas and colors is exactly the type of food that will warm you up from the inside and provide your body with a good dose of nutrients. I softened the creamy red lentil dhal cooked in vegetable broth and tomato passata sauce with soy cream, seasoned it with spices, and served it with fresh herbs. To make it a little more special, I added roasted carrots in a miso marinade, which caramelize beautifully when roasted and give the dish a slightly sweet umami flavor. You can serve it with basmati rice—or if you want a lighter version, you can leave it out. It's the perfect comfort food for dinner or meal prep for those days when you're short on time. 🌿
