Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
4 carrots, peeled and diced
1 celery stalk, trimmed and diced
2 teaspoons crushed ginger, or 1 teaspoon ground
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 heaping tablespoon curry powder
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups red lentils, rinsed and dried
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth, low sodium
1 15-ounce can coconut milk, optional*
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat olive oil on medium-high. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and curry powder, and cook for one minute. Add the tomatoes, lentils, and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are soft.
Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then, using an immersion blender (or high-powered blender, transferring batches of the soup), pulse the soup to create a creamy texture. Stir in the coconut milk. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with your favorite bread or crackers! Enjoy!
