Coconut Curry Lentil Soup Recipe

This Coconut Curry Lentil Soup recipe is a delicious Indian dish that will fill your kitchen with the savory aroma of curry. We love Indian food, and it’s one of the easier types of cuisines to eat at restaurants since they typically have lots of vegan/vegetarian options.

But if you’re craving some curry, you don’t have to go out to eat. Now you can make your own!

We served it over brown rice to make it a little more filling and to spread out the delicious flavor, but you can eat it plain without the rice to save calories.

If you’re watching your saturated fat intake, you can also skip the coconut milk, but it won’t be as creamy or flavorful. We tried it without, but that seemed to be the missing ingredient.

Instructions

1. Heat 1/4 cup veggie broth over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion, garlic and carrots and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the chopped potatoes and spices and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the remaining vegetable broth or water, lentils and tomato paste. Simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
4. Add the greens and coconut milk and continue to cook until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes.
5. Serve plain or over brown rice. This makes a thick, creamy soup. Add water for a thinner consistency.
