Soothe Your Soul with a Bowl of Lensomy Mung Dal Soup

By Lucinda, The Lensomy Lifestylist Specially written for Modbury Farm Shop Serves: 2–3

A Note from Lucinda

There is truly nothing quite like a warm, loving bowl of dal on those days when you need pure soul food. Light, gentle on digestion, and deeply restorative, mung dal is one of the kindest gifts you can give your body.

This soup is especially great if you are feeling the shift of the season, or when your immune system is compromised or working hard. Whether enjoyed as a light, cleansing broth or made richer with nourishing farm-fresh bone broth, this recipe is full of lensomy—unconditional love and heartfelt care.

Ingredients

1 cup yellow split mung dal (or whole green mung dal / red lentils)
½ tsp ground turmeric
To taste: Himalayan pink rock salt
2 tsp ghee (or coconut oil)
½ tsp whole cumin seeds
1 medium onion, finely chopped (optional)
Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped, for serving (optional)
Liquid: Fresh water for soaking and cooking, plus warm water or rich bone broth for loosening and topping up
Method

Rinse & Soak Rinse and drain the mung dal thoroughly. Place in a medium bowl, cover with water by about 1 inch (2.5 cm), and soak for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse once more before cooking.
Simmer to Softness In a medium pot, combine the soaked dal, turmeric, and pink rock salt to taste. Add enough water to cover the dal by about 1 inch (2.5 cm) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 25 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are completely soft, creamy, and pasta-like.
Topping Up: Once the dal is tender, stir in extra warm water or nourishing bone broth to achieve your preferred soup consistency—whether you like it light and sippable or thick and comforting.
Temper the Aromatics (Tarka) While the dal is finishing, gently heat the ghee in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and swirl them around until toasted and fragrant. Stir in the chopped onions (if using) and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes until soft, sweet, and lightly golden.
Combine with Care Pour the spiced ghee and golden onions directly into the simmering dal, stirring gently so all the warmth and flavour meld together. Ladle into your favourite warm bowls and finish with a scattering of fresh chopped coriander.
Lucinda’s Serving Touches

Add Farm Shop Veg: Toss in a handful of tender leafy greens (spinach or chard) or seasonal garden veg during the last few minutes of simmering.
Serve Simply: Delicious on its own as a soothing broth, or paired with fluffy basmati rice, warm flatbreads, or crusty sourdough from the farm shop.

A simple bedtime tip: why sleeping on your left side helps your body rest and reset. 🌙✨
How you position your body while resting makes a huge difference in how you feel the next day.
Here is what your body naturally prefers and why:
1. Left-Side Sleeping (The Best Choice) 🌿
Your stomach naturally curves toward the left side of your body. Resting on your left lets gravity do the hard work for you instead of fighting it overnight. 
Taking a few moments to rest on your left side after a meal helps food settle easily. 
It eases digestion and supports your body’s natural nightly cleansing process—a simple habit backed by modern science today. 
2. Sleeping Flat on Your Back
This can slow down your digestion and leave you feeling sluggish or heavy by morning, especially if you already struggle with congestion or bloating. 
3. Sleeping on Your Stomach (The Hardest on the Body)
Lying face down puts pressure on your chest and restricts full, deep breathing. Instead of waking up refreshed, it often leaves you feeling tight and tired. 
Try it tonight:
After dinner or when you climb into bed, try turning onto your left side. It is a tiny, effortless shift that your digestion will genuinely thank you for. 💛

How it works:
Format: A personal 10–12 minute private audio recording + a high-resolution photo of your cards.

Once the 8 spaces are claimed, the door closes.
Love life and it loves you back.

Did you know standing barefoot on wet sand can be significantly more powerful than walking on regular soil? Here is why the beach is one of the best places to recharge: Why Salt & Water Matter: Seawater is packed with dissolved natural salts and minerals, making it highly conductive. When waves soak...

The end of September is all about the in-between.
Walking through Beaminster today, you feel it with every step. Step into a patch of shade and there’s the crisp, unmistakable coolness of what’s coming. Move back into the sunlight and you’re wrapped in the lingering warmth of the summer we just left behind.
The shadows of the gates stretch across the path like open doorways, reminding me that change isn’t sudden—it’s a quiet transition we cross one step at a time. Entering a season that is entirely familiar, yet completely unwritten. 🍂

Spirit isn’t a place you go to.
It’s the water moving through your hands.
The sudden shift in the wind against your skin.
The steady pull of the earth beneath your feet.
The branches reaching for light above you.
Everything is alive.
Everything is listening.
And you are entirely part of it.
