This soup is packed with protein from lentils and infused with the rich, creamy goodness of coconut milk and aromatic spices. It’s the perfect meal for a cozy night in or a chilly day.

Ingredients:

• 200g red lentils
• 400ml coconut milk
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1L vegetable broth
• 2 cups spinach, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Juice of 1 lime

Kitchen Tools:

To start, heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin, stirring to coat the vegetables.

Next, pour in the red lentils and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the lentils are cooked through and soft.

Once the lentils are tender, add the coconut milk and chopped spinach to the pot. Stir well and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors.
