Went for a jog in the rain with S (my boyfriend) and Charley (the dog) and now snuggled in the house with sweaters and blankets. The winter is officially here and a cozy day inside is wonderful. Good book, afternoon naps and puppy snuggles.
But before we get to snuggles with the Charley its time to make some soup! The day is calling for Spicy Indian Curry Red Lentil Soup… That sure is a mouthful. YUM
Ingredients:
1 small yellow onion diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 T grated ginger
1 T thyme
1 medium sweet potato peeled and chopped
3 cups red lentils
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 T turmeric
1 tsp curry powder
2-3 red serrano peppers small chopped (depending on spice level desire)
4 cups low sodium vegetable stock
4 cups water
1 can light coconut milk
olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Directions:
1) Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a medium soup pot on medium heat. When hot add onions and few pinches of salt.
2) When beginning to get translucent add the garlic, ginger Serrano pepper, black pepper and thyme. Cook for a few minutes and stir a couple times.
3) Add in potatoes. Give a stir to coat all with other ingredients. Add in all 4 spices and stir to combine.
4) Add in red lentils, veg stock, and water. Add a couple more pinches of salt and then let simmer till sweet potatoes are cooked through and the lentils are mushy. Add more water if more liquid is needed.
5) Use immersion blender to blend soup in the pot. While blending add the can of coconut milk. Blend until desired consistency is reached. If it still looks to thick for you add a little bit of water in small batches.
6) Serve and enjoy!!
Happy Cooking :)
