Creamy Curried Carrot, Ginger and Red Lentil Soup in pot with a swirl of coconut milk

Creamy Curried Carrot, Ginger and Red Lentil Soup

A lightly curried, silky soup brimming with nutrition and is ready in less than 20 minutes. This is a great way to sneak in some iron rich lentils - be sure to use red ones which soften during cooking and create a creamy texture once blended.

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic, ginger and curry powder. Stir for briefly, until fragrant.
  • Pour in soup stock, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add in the carrots and lentils. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Remove from heat. Stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice.
  • Blend in batches if using a stand blender, or use an immersion blender. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with a swirl of coconut milk or a dollop of unsweetened vegan yogurt. Enjoy!
