Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including carrots, red lentils, onion, garlic, vegetable broth, coconut milk, spices, olive oil, and fresh herbs.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and chop the carrots, dice the onion, and mince the garlic to prepare them for cooking.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Mix in the Spices and Carrots: Stir in the chopped carrots, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the spices to release their aromas.
  5. Combine Lentils and Broth: Add the rinsed red lentils and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the lentils and carrots are tender.
  6. Blend to Perfection: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender. Blend until smooth and creamy in texture.
  7. Add Coconut Milk: Return the pureed soup to the pot if needed, stir in the coconut milk, and warm the soup over low heat for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with crusty bread or warm pita. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
