Description

This Spicy Coconut Lentil Soup made a great, light, mid-week dinner. It was easy to make, full of flavor, and it made my house smell quite inviting. It has some exotic flavors like chile peppers, coconut milk and ginger but was still very comforting.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil (or Olive Oil)
  • 1 Red Onion, Chopped
  • 1 whole 2 Inch Piece Of Peeled Ginger, Chopped
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 2-4 Chile Peppers (Serrano, Jalapeno, Red Chile), Seeded And Chopped
  • 5 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 15 ounces, fluid Light Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Red Lentils, Sorted And Rinsed
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cumin
  • 1-½ teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Chile Powder
  • 2 whole Limes, Juiced
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Optional Garnish: Chopped Cilantro

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook until onion begins to soften then add ginger, garlic and chile peppers. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until everything has softened.

While the onion mixture is cooking, combine chicken broth, coconut milk, lentils, cumin, paprika and coriander in a soup pan. Bring to a boil.

Once the onion mixture has softened, add it to the lentil mixture. Simmer over low heat for approximately 40 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and starting to break down. Stir occasionally.

Once the lentils are cooked add the honey, chile powder and lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Heat until you are ready to serve. Top each bowl with cilantro.

So easy and good! We added chicken that we had in the fridge, but it would have been delicious without.
