Lentil soup

This spicy lentil soup recipe, with its bit of garlic and the hit of curry is just delicious.

It is one of the most wonderful vegetarian soup recipes I have tasted.

Lentil soup is an quick and easy recipe that you can make for lunch or dinner any day of the week.

vegetarian label gluten free label vegan label

Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
a little oil (about 2 teaspoons)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon curry paste
1 1/2 cups red lentils
4 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons low fat Greek yogurt (optional - for serving)
chopped fresh coriander (optional - for serving)

Directions:
Soften the onion in a little oil. Add the curry paste and stir well.

Add the stock and lentils and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the lentils are well softened.

To serve, mix the coriander into the yogurt, and add a portion to each bowl.

Serves 6.


Cooking Tips
Variations:
  • The recipe calls for Greek yogurt, but if you can't find that in your area, just substitute regular plain yogurt.
  • If you prefer, you can use chicken stock instead of vegetable stock.
  • If you are into hot and want to kick it up a notch, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
