Red lentil soup for the soul

Soups create a wonderful healthy meal. If you have any vegetables in your refrigerator that require immediate use, making a soup is a nice solution.



Similarly to the metabolism boosting cauliflower soup , the red lentil soup is very flavoursome because of the warm and rich spices added to it. This meal brings you comfort and soothes your soul; no matter what negative feelings you might experience, the red lentil soup will boost your mood.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 5

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon coconut oil
2 small yellow onions, peeled and chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1 cup red lentils, rinsed
1 ½ cup coconut milk
zest and juice from one lime
½ teaspoon sea salt
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Method:














Let the soup cool before storing. If saving the soup for later, fill the jars with the soup, cover and place them in the refrigerator for an easy grab-and-go lunch.

The coconut milk in the recipe could be replaced by any other plant milk, like oat or almond milk, for example. A lemon could be substituted for the lime.

For more flavourful meal, you could add additional spices to the soup, like cinnamon and turmeric, for example.
