Red Lentil Sweet Potato Soup

Red Lentil & Yam Soup

Ingredients
2 1/12 cups red lentils
1 giant + 1 medium small garnet yam, chopped coarsely into cubes
4 cubes vegetable bouillon (enough to make 8 cups of broth)
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp chili powder
8 cups water
salt

Instructions
Put all ingredients into a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the lentils are done. Usually a good indicator is when the lentils start sticking to the bottom to the pot. Blend with an immersion blender until creamy. Add salt to taste – you might like it with up to 3 tablespoons salt or you might like it with a lot less.

Notes:
Extremely creamy & quite tasty! I would try it with less yam next time, also it seemed like it could use quite a bit more cumin and chili powder so i might do 1 1/2 times the amount next time. Also maybe adding other vegetables would probably make it very tasty. I ripped the ingredients to this this off of a pot of hot soup at Mother Earth :-)
