Curry Lentil Soup

coconut oil

yellow onion, (finely chopped)

red bell pepper (finely chopped)

garlic, (finely chopped)

2 1/2 inch piece of ginger, (peeled and finely chopped)

curry powder

red pepper flakes

lentils

tomatoes

cilantro (finely chopped, plus more for garnish)

kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

coconut milk

lime wedges

Heat the oil in a medium dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, until  golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Add garlic, ginger, curry powder, and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lentils and cook for about 1 minute more, stirring occasionally.

Add tomatoes, cilantro, 2½ cups water and season with salt and pepper. Set aside a few tablespoons of the coconut milk and add remaining coconut milk to dutch oven.

Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are soft but not mushy, 20-25 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

To serve, divide soup among bowls. Drizzle with reserved coconut milk and top with plenty of cilantro. Serve with lots of lime wedges.

Pour lentils into a large bowl. Rinse and drain. Pour boiling water on top to cover the lentils, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Set aside. 

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. Saute until onions are soft and translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Add garam masala, curry powder, and cumin and cook for an additional minute.

I LOVE this soup. I make it almost every other week on Sunday and eat it for lunch, or even breakfast, all week with a splash of hot sauce.

Best!!
I made my own garam masala and added minced fresh turmeric in place of powder--
Superb
