Vine Tomato and Lentil Soup

So this one time my friend purchased what we claimed to be the tastiest soup ever and in my usual fashion I took it as a challenge to emulate - here goes nothing!
Gluten free and vegan friendly, happy body happy life. 

What do you need?

1/2 tbsp coconut oil (or olive oil)

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic 

1 red chilli (if you want it to have a little spice)

4 Vine Tomatoes 

1 medium sweet potato

1 carrot 

1 capsicum 

300g lentils*

1-2 tsp cumin 

1 tbsp fresh coriander 

2 tbsp tomato puree 

1.5 litres vegetable stock 

salt and peper

*I used 200g green and 100g split red, however half half or more red would have been good as the red ones kind of dissolve/breakdown.

+ Dice the onion and chilli, smoosh the garlic and add to a large pot with the cumin and oil. Fry until soft and golden. 

+ Cut sweet potato and carrot into cubes, dice capsicum, chop coriander. Add all to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.

+ Dice tomatoes and add to pot, stir vigorously/squash tomatoes and add tomato puree. 

+ Add lentils and vegetable stock and simmer for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables and lentils are cooked.
