05 - 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped (soup).
06 - 3 tablespoons plain flour.
07 - 1 medium potato, cut into chunks.
08 - 3-5 cubes veg stock.
09 - 1 cup water.
10 - 1/4 cup nutritional yeast.
11 - 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk, full-fat.
12 - 2 cups plain non-dairy milk, unsweetened.
13 - 2 tablespoons hot sauce with vinegar.
14 - 1 tablespoon mustard, yellow.
15 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
16 - 1 small onion, chopped (crumbles).
17 - 1 tablespoon canola oil (crumbles).
18 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped (crumbles).
19 - 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar.
20 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
21 - 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire.
22 - 2 cups brown lentils, cooked.
23 - 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped into small pieces.
24 - 2 tablespoons light soy sauce.

# Instructions:

01 - Get a big pot, warm up the oil, and cook onions, carrot, and celery for about 10 minutes. Toss in garlic and flour, then stir it for a minute.
02 - Pour in the water, stock cubes, coconut milk, plant milk, potato, mustard, hot sauce, yeast, and thyme. Let it gently bubble for 20 minutes.
03 - In a skillet, soften garlic and onion in oil. Add lentils, walnuts, and all other seasonings. Cook until dry.
04 - Puree part of the soup—around a third or half—so it’s a bit creamy but still chunky. Season however you like.
05 - Spoon soup into bowls and layer it with the lentil crumble. Add any toppings you want too.

# Notes:

01 - Use cooked or canned lentils if you’d like.
02 - Adjust blending for how thick or smooth you prefer.
03 - You can top it with lots of optional add-ons.
