Ingredients

🥥2 cups Vita Coco coconut milk

🥥1 red onion, finely chopped

🥥2 cloves garlic, minced

🥥2-3 tbsp curry paste of choice

🥥2 tsp minced ginger

🥥1/2-1 tsp chilli flakes

🥥2 carrots, chopped

🥥2 sticks celery, chopped

🥥1 red pepper, chopped

🥥4 large tomatoes, chopped

🥥2 cups vegetable stock

🥥200g red lentils

🥥Large handful fresh coriander

🥥Salt and pepper, to taste

🥥Lime juice, to serve

Instructions

1. Heat some Vita Coco coconut oil in a pan. Add in the red onion and fry, stirring often, for a minute or so. Add in the garlic and fry until golden before tossing in your veggies, ginger and the curry paste (add more in if you prefer things spicier!). Stir to combine, then continue to heat and stir for 3 minutes.

2. Add in the vegetable stock, Vita Coco coconut milk and lentils and cook on a medium to low heat until the lentils and carrots are softened (around 20-25 minutes), adding a splash more water if needed. Chop the stems of your coriander and stir these through, reserving the fresh coriander leaves for serving.

3. Season to taste and blend, if desired, for a smooth soup, or leave chunky. Serve with a drizzle of fresh lime and the coriander leaves, then a dollop of coconut yoghurt if desired. #RecycleYourCartons once you’re done!
