Step 1

Heat a couple tsp olive oil in a Dutch oven on medium heat and add the leek once it's hot. Season with salt and pepper and sweat until the leek softens. Add the ginger garlic paste and cook until the garlic and ginger release their aroma.

Step 2

Add the spices and saute them for a moment before adding the chicken broth and the whole dried chili. Bring the chicken broth to a boil and simmer for 10-15 min. Add the lentils and tomatoes and bring to a boil again, then turn it down to simmer for 30 min.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin and sausage and continue to simmer until the pumpkin and whole lentils are soft and the split lentils have started to break down. Add a little soy sauce and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Grate the lemon zest and add its juice to the soup.
