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 Lentil Soup

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)

Method

Variations:

• The recipe calls for Greek yogurt, but if you can’t find that in your area, just substitute regular plain yogurt. Or omit the topping entirely.
• If you prefer, you can use chicken stock instead of vegetable stock. Obviously it won’t be a vegetarian recipe any longer.
• If you are into hot and want to kick it up a notch, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.

This recipe is a bit higher in carbs than most diabetic recipes I recommend, but it is a whole meal in a bowl. You really don’t need anything else, except maybe a salad on the side, to make a great diabetic diet meal.
