Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized soup pot set over medium heat add olive oil.
  2. Once the oil is hot add in the diced onion and saute just until soft.
  3. Add in the garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and curry powder.
  4. Saute for another minute just until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Pour in vegetable stock, red lentils, carrots, and coconut milk.
  6. Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the carrots and lentils are soft.
  7. Add the hot soup to a blender (I used my Vitamix) and puree until completely smooth.
  8. If your blender does not hold all the soup do this in batches.
  9. Also, be very careful when blending the hot soup because if the lid comes off it could be dangerous.
  10. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot and warm through.
  11. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, cilantro, and red pepper flakes.
