- While the vegetables are roasting rinse 1 cup red lentils and transfer to saucepan with 2 cups filtered water and pinch salt. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked.
- Allow the roasted vegetables to cool. Transfer in batches to blender – combining with the cooked red lentils, grated ginger and water/vegetable broth. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding water or stock as needed.
