Ingredients
- Carrot (1, sliced)
- Lentils/ Broken Green gram dal/broken moong daal(1/2 cup, Half cooked)
- Clarified Butter/Ghee(1 tsp)
- Onion(1/2 chopped)
- Garlic (3 cloves, chopped)

Method
- In a pan add clarified butter. After it is hot add onion, garlic , carrot and saute it for a while.
- Add the half cooked lentils to the carrot.
- Add around 3 cups of stock. As I am making a broth, you can add a bit more of the stock if you want. Add seasoning as per your taste or if you want to skip adding salt for your kids meals, you may avoid salt completely.
- Allow the lentils and carrot to cook and once it is cooked and tender to touch.
- Switch off the flame. If you want you may add some herbs to enhance the flavour , but kids dont understand complex flavours and might stop eating the soup completely. So best is to keep it simple and slowly introduce various tastes to the meals.
Carrot & lentil soup is now ready. Serve it in a bowl and allow to cool a bit before serving.
