1
Fry onions in olive oil until beginning to brown. Add garlic, celery and carrots and cook until beginning to soften.
2
Add spices and cook until fragrant. Add potatoes, lentils, tomato juice, mustard and bouillon and water to cover by a couple of inches (about 1 cup - if it is too thick you can always add more water.).
3
Simmer until potatoes are soft and lentils are beginning to break down, about 1/2 hour. Add more spices to taste if necessary. Stir in coconut milk and salt to taste.
