This is a sweet and herbal soup, whose mild flavor delightfully contrast the tangy and fresh ginger crème-fraiche. (The recipe is inspired by a recipe from Linas bag of groceries.)

Serves 5

1 kg carrots, sliced
2 onions, chopped
2.5 dl dried green lentils, rinsed
2 garlic cloves, mashed
10 dl water
1 tsp herb salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
1 handful fresh thyme bundle, stripped
2 dl crème fraiche
1 tbsp ginger, grated
Oil for frying

Heat oil in a pan and fry the carrots, onions and garlic for a couple of minutes. Add the lentils, water, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Boil for about 25 minutes until the carrots are soft. Mix the ginger with the crème fraiche. Add the thyme to the soup and blend it into a quite smooth soup with a hand blender. Serve it together with a large dollop of ginger crème fraîche.
