Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- ½ cup ginger peeled and finely chopped
- ¾ cup red lentils
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped parsley + ¼ cup of roughly chopped to garnish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 cups water
- 13.5 ounces coconut milk
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan pour the vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry, stirring frequently for 8 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
- Add the curry powder, garlic, and ginger and continue to fry for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the lentils, stir through for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, parsley, water, salt, and a generous number of grinds of pepper.
- Pour the coconut milk into a bowl and gently whisk it until smooth and creamy. Set aside ¼ cup and add the remaining coconut milk to the soup. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes or until the lentils are soft but still holding their shape.
- Divide amongst four bowls, drizzle with the reserved coconut milk, sprinkle with parsley leaves, and serve.
