Background
During the winter time we crave hearty soups and stews. This spiced beetroot, carrot and lentil soup is vegan, healthy and filling - perfect when you’re feeling a but run down. If you can’t find turmeric root, just use turmeric powder, about ½ teaspoon should be enough. Serve it with wholesome bread rolls or flatbread.
