Sweet potato & lentil soup

I wanted to make a lentil soup and I found no recipe on my books. I turned to the internet and found this recipe on the BBC Good food website. It is very very tasty!

2. Add the onion, apple, garlic, coriander stalks, ginger and salt & pepper to taste and gently cook for 5 min, stirring every so often.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Add the potatoes, lentils and stock to the pan and simmer covered for 20 min.
