Golden Lentil Indian Dal, Amy's Inspired Soup

 

I had to research the spices, because Amy's just puts "spices". 

I think I did good though. 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup cooked yellow split peas (green is okay) 🫛

1. In a Vitamix blender, combine peas, lentils, carrots, tomato paste, chili flakes and water. Blend until smooth.
