Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Heat through gently, but do not boil.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, use less broth.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or diced sweet potatoes.
