Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 cup soy yogurt
• 1 cup red lentil
• 1 garlic clover
• lemon juice (or lime)

Instructions:

1. Saute the onions for just a few minutes in the olive oil.

4. Add the vegatable broth and yogurt.

5. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

6. Season with about 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper
