Instructions

Rinse lentils a few times and set them aside
Add olive oil and saute garlic and onions over medium heat for about 1 minute in a small cooking pot. Add the spices (turmeric, ginger, cumin, and optional cardamom). Stir and add a splash of water to prevent burning.
Add chopped broccoli, lentils, salt, and water to cover everything. Additional water might be needed.
Cover everything with the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes until lentils are tender and everything else is cooked.
Add the herbs (mind and optional cilantro). Take off the heat.
With a hand blender, blend the soup. Option to blend until smooth or to keep the soup slightly chunky. Add a drizzle of olive oil and/or additional salt to taste—option to add water if too thick.
Optionally, add red chili pepper powder or flakes
