This makes approx 4-5 servings. It's heavy enough as dinner on a winters eve. Can be eaten as a soup or eaten with a fork!
Soak un-shelled lentils in bowl of water for at least an hour, longer if possible. Tip water out before cooking, you will notice a lot of dirt in the water and some shells coming off.
This is normal.
Roughly chop all your vegetables, diced, sliced, however you like them but leave them reasonably chunky.
In a large stock pot add olive oil, heat, then add all chopped veggies. Cook, stiring for a couple of minutes then add drained lentils, cooking and stiring for a couple more minutes. Add your water, bay leaf, coriander, salt and chili pepper.
Cover and boil on high for 10 minutes, then slow boil for an additional 35 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!
