Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 5 cloves garlic

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dice onion.
  2. In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. Meanwhile, mince garlic and grate ginger.
  4. When onion is translucent, add garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Stir and sauté 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add coconut milk, diced tomatoes, broth, and red lentils (rinsed and drained).
  6. Bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
  7. Add roughly chopped kale during the last 5 minutes of cook time. Salt/pepper to taste.
