Reasons You'll Love It

This soup is a comforting and nutritious meal that combines hearty vegetables with protein-rich lentils. It’s full of warm spices that make it perfect for chilly days. Plus, it’s entirely plant-based, making it suitable for a variety of diets.

Kitchen Tricks

- Toast the spices briefly before adding liquids to release their full flavor.
- Use red lentils for a creamier texture, or green/brown lentils if you prefer more bite.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more broth or blending part of the soup for a smoother consistency.

Step 1

Warm the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes. Next, add the ginger, curry powder, coriander, and cumin, and cook everything together for another couple of minutes until the spices really wake up and smell amazing. Pour in the broth and lentils, give it all a good stir, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the cauliflower and sweet potato to the pot, cover it, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer until the veggies are tender, which should take around 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and extra curry powder if you like a stronger flavor. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook just until it wilts, about 3 to 5 minutes, then it’s ready to serve.

Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Serve this soup with warm crusty bread or over a bed of brown rice for a complete meal. A dollop of coconut yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a nice touch. It also pairs well with a simple green salad on the side.

How To Store For Later

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors will deepen over time. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently on the stove.

The soup tasted nice but a little mild for my taste. Next time I’ll add more curry powder. Still great and easy to make.
