Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Stir in the garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables in the spices.

Add the red lentils and diced green apple to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. You can make it completely smooth or leave it slightly chunky.
