Make the vegetable stock. If you don’t have ready-made vegetable stock, you can make your own by using one vegetable stock cube per 2 cups (500 ml) and bringing it to a boil.
Chop your onion, shallot, celery, and carrots. Mince the ginger and garlic.
Stir fry the veggies in a large pot set at medium heat. You don't need oil, the vegetable stock will lift any sticking veggies on the next step while creating flavor.
Add the vegetable stock as soon as the onions are translucent. Also, add the spices.
Simmer for 5 mins and add the lentil sprouts.
Cook for no more than 3 mins.
Serve. Top and/or pair with nutritional yeast and sourdough bread.
