A quick and easy creamy coconut curry lentil soup made with just a handful of simple ingredients, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) red lentils
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat in your soup pot. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and soft.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  4. Add 1 cup (200g) red lentils, 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk, and 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust thickness by adding more broth or simmering uncovered for a thicker soup.
  7. Optional: Use an immersion blender to puree part or all of the soup for a creamier texture.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Add a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

Notes

Rinse lentils well before cooking to remove excess starch. Toast curry powder with onions to boost flavor. Stir occasionally to prevent lentils from sticking and foaming. Adjust salt gradually due to broth sodium content. Soup flavors deepen after resting overnight.
