            Instructions
            
              - Chop the onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash.
 - Heat the oil in a pan. Add the vegetables and brown for 5 minutes.
 - When golden brown, turn down the heat and add the spices, lime juice, salt, and mix well.
 - Add the coconut milk and vegetable stock cube. Simmer for 10 minutes
 - Add the red lentils and crushed garlic to the pan and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Once all the vegetables are soft remove the pan from the heat.
 - Use a stick blender or a liquidiser to blend the soup until smooth and no lumps remain.
 - Pass the soup through a sieve. Check if the consistency is correct for IDDSI level 4. If it is too thin, reduce further while heating in the pot.
