Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups red lentils split
- 2 French shallots peeled
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 inch ginger root peeled
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 2 teaspoons curry powder mild
- 1 cup sweet potato mashed, or pumpkin
- 1 can coconut milk (14 oz can)
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1 lime juice of 1
- 1/2 cup PLAIN yogurt
- cilantro to garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Pour the lentils into a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cool running water until the water draining is no longer cloudy. Dump the lentils into a slow cooker.
- Finely chop the shallots; mince or grate the garlic. And them both to the lentils. Using a microplane, grate the ginger into a fragrant heap of pulp and juice. Reserve 1 teaspoon of this to stir into the yogurt topping; add the rest to the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle in the cumin and the curry powder; dump in the sweet potato puree and give everything a stir.
- Shake the coconut milk well, then open the can and pour it over the soup ingredients. Finish by adding the vegetable stock and give the pot a final stir. Cover with a lid and set to High for 5 hours. Easy, right?
- Just before serving, stir in the salt and the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste; it may be necessary to add more salt.
- Stir together the yogurt and the reserved grated ginger. Serve alongside the lentil soup, adding a dollop to the top of the bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro, toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired
Notes
- Note that slow cookers may vary, so if you find that yours tends to cook meals faster than usual, begin checking to the soup around 4 hours. You are looking for a tender lentil in a fragrant broth.
