Rinse the Lentils and add to Stem Broth

Bring Lentils to a boil then turn heat down to medium

Add a bit of Lentil water to the Bullion cubes, mash well then add to Lentils

In a saut pan add Grapeseed Oil, Coriander Seeds (you can put the seeds in a coffee grinder if you prefer) Cumin Seeds, Turmeric, Garam Masala.

Saut on medium heat until fragrant approximately about 5 minutes.

Mince Serranos, grate Ginger, mince Onions, mince Garlic and add to pan then saut until Onions are soft.

Add Tomato Sauce and cook on medium low for about 10 minutes then add to cooked Lentils and cook for 20 more minutes on low heat.

If you like a smooth texture to your soup you can put all of it in a food processor (blender or hand blender) to puree` or only use half for a slightly textured soup or leave it if you like it that way.
