Curry pumpkin lentil soup is simple, nutrient packed, and highly addictive. The lentils are simmered in aromatics of ginger and garlic with the sweet flavors of curry flair with just a hint of spice finished in a rich coconut broth!
Key Notes:
- Not only is this soup bursting with savory flavors it is also a powerhouse packed with nutrients and anti-inflammatories.
- The soup takes 30 minutes from start to finish.
- If you don’t like coconut milk whisk in a scoop of yogurt or cream at the end for added creaminess.
- Blend half of the soup with an immersion blender for thicker consistency.
- Most importantly be sure to add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for garnishing. It really brings out the flavors.
- Chili oil adds a nice flavor as a topping. If you don’t have any on hand Christine Benlafquih has a simple recipe here.
