Ginger Spiced Carrot and Lentil Soup
This Carrot and Lentil Soup is exactly what I want when I’m feeling a little under the weather, or even just a little blue. It’s the coziest thing to curl up with on a rainy chilly day. So prepare your pillow nest and let’s make it!
Ingredients
- 1 large onion 250 grams
- 3 large carrots 250 grams
- 1 cup red lentils 230 grams
- 1 3- inch piece of ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 can coconut milk
- 6 cups water
- Juice of 1 lime for garnish
Instructions
- Chop the onion and garlic as finely as you feel like.
- Peel and grate the carrot and ginger. If you have a grater attachment on your food processor, your job will be even easier. I used a box grater.
- Put the onion, garlic, grated carrots and ginger into a Dutch oven or the insert of an Instant Pot
- Add the lentils, spices, coconut milk and water.
- If you’re using the stovetop method, bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, give the soup a good stir, then cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
- If you’re using the Instant pot method, simply lock the lid into place and set the Instant Pot to the high-pressure mode for 10 minutes.
- Serve with a squeeze of lime juice and enjoy!
