Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Saute onion, garlic and ginger until onion is translucent.
Add in curry powder and cook for about two minutes.
Add in red lentils, stir and cook for about two minutes.
Pour the can of crushed tomatoes into the red lentils with water and salt. Stir well so all the ingredients are combined.
Bring to simmer and cook for twenty minutes until the lentils are tender.
Add in coconut milk and stir. Lower the heat and cook for another ten minutes.
Serve warm with lemon juice.

Notes

I usually use water to make this recipe but you can also use vegetable broth.
To make this red lentil soup non-vegan, you can use chicken broth as well.
Sweet potatoes compliment this curry lentil soup very well. Cut one sweet potato into 1/2 inch cubes and add it to the soup with the red lentils.
I use full fat coconut milk for this curried lentil soup. It makes the soup very creamy and smooth.
This vegan curry lentil soup doesn't require blending since red lentils fall apart while cooking. However, you can always blend this soup if you like your soup to be ultra creamy.
