Ingredients
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 4 carrots, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
- 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
- 12/3 cups coconut milk
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Preparation
- In a large stockpot over medium-high, heat oil. Add onions, celery and carrots. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, ginger, cumin and coriander and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add stock and lentils. Bring to a simmer; cook for 10 minutes, until carrots are al dente and lentils are cooked.
- Stir in coconut milk, lime zest and juice and salt and return to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from heat. Serve hot, or let cool to store. If saving, fill 3 to 4 Mason jars with leftover soup, seal and place in the fridge for an easy, to-go lunch that can be quickly and safely microwaved. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with spelt bread.
