Tips and Tricks

  • Meal prep! If you can make some of your meals on the weekend, or one evening when you have some time free, then I definitely recommend doing so! It can make your life SO much easier and less likely to cheat. Just be careful that you don’t meal prep too far ahead of time. I recommend not storing leftovers in the fridge for more than 2-3 days.
  • Don’t forget that if you slip up, it’s ok! Simply get back on track, your health is worth it.
  • Attempt this with friends or family, or join my support group on Facebook. It’s much easier to get through when you have others supporting you!
  • Know that after changing my diet, my life was never the same. I felt SO much better after my first one, that I never looked back!

Cook, stirring occasionally, until juices are reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Spicy Sesame Carrot Soup with Red Lentils - to try


Spicy Sesame Carrot Soup with Red Lentils

Serving: 6


1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground chillies or chili flakes (adjust to taste)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
1 ½ lbs carrots, scrubbed and chopped
Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup split red lentils, rinsed
5 cups chicken stock
¼ cup tahini
1½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice


Set a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds to the pot and toast, stirring them up often. Toast the spices until very fragrant, about 45 seconds to a full minute. Dump the seeds out onto a small plate and allow them to cool completely before grinding up to a powder in a spice grinder. Set the ground spices aside.

Return the large soup pot to the stove over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Swirl the oil around a bit and then add the onions to the pot and stir. The onions should be sizzling but on the quieter end of sizzling. Lower the heat if necessary. Keep cooking the onions, stirring occasionally, until very soft and translucent (but not browning), about 7-8 minutes.

Add the ground cumin and coriander to the pot, along with the ground chillies. Stir and cook along with the onions for one full minute. Then, add the minced garlic and ginger to the pot and stir. Keep cooking until the garlic is very fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the carrots to the pot along with big pinches of salt and pepper. Stir the carrots to coat them in the spices and sautéed onions. Then, add the red lentils to the pot and stir once more. Finally, pour in the chicken stock and give it a final stir.

Bring this broth-y carrot, lentil, and spice mixture to a boil and then lower your heat to a simmer. Simmer this mixture uncovered, stirring here and there, until the carrots are quite soft, about 30 minutes.
Carefully ladle the broth-y carrot, lentil, and spice mixture into the pitcher of an upright, vented blender. To this mixture, add the tahini, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Close the lid on the pitcher and slowly bring the speed of the blender up to high. You may have to add a few splashes of water to get things moving. Blend until you have a completely smooth puree.

Pour the spicy sesame carrot soup back into the pot. At this point, you can leave it as-is or add some water to make the texture a bit more fluid. I personally like a bit of fluidity in pureed soups, so I added 2 cups of water at this point. Bring the soup up to a boil, stirring often. Stir in the lemon or lime juice.

Give the soup a taste at this point to see if you need to adjust some of the seasoning. Maybe it needs even more lemon/lime for your taste, some extra pepper, etc. Adjust the seasoning to your liking and then serve! Top with chopped cilantro, drizzles of tahini, and chili oil, and sesame seeds if desired.
