Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add onion and carrots, and sauté for five minutes, stirring occasionally. When the onions are soft and translucent add the garlic and sauté for another minute, stirring occasionally until fragrant.

Stir in the stock, lentils, corn, cumin, curry powder (plus saffron and cayenne, if using) until combined. Let it cook until the soup reaches a simmer. Then cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the lentils are completely tender. If you wish to have a thick soup, blend the soup using a blender until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest and juice until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, garnished with an extra fresh slice of lemon if desired.
