This homemade soup always reminds me of my mom, my hometown and my country because I loved the soup that she made and how good it tasted. The perfect combination of chicken, veggies, and seasoning, it was like touching heaven. Her soup was the best soup ever, but no one could make it like her. When I first came to San Francisco, someone made me the similar soup, and I thought of my mom, it tasted good but not quite as good as the one my mom used to make me. Most of my life, I grew up drinking chicken soup that it has become one of my favorite food of all time.

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic

1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger

15 oz. can pumpkin purée

1 cup dry red lentils

6 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 Tbsp curry powder (or to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger (use a small hole cheese grater). Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a large pot with the olive oil over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent.

Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow it to come to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down and simmer on low for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 20 minutes the lentils should be soft and the soup slightly thickened.
