Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 cup lentils (red or green), rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 apple, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add spices and aromatics: Stir in minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Enrich with coconut milk: Stir in coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Serve with a touch of freshness: Ladle hot soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and enjoy warm.
