Ingredients
½ tablespoon vegetable oil
1 white onion, diced
1/2 cup very finely diced sweet pepper
1/3 cup very finely diced cilantro
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne (only if you wish a touch heat)
1 (28 ounce) can fire roasted crushed tomatoes (or regular crushed tomatoes are fine)
1 cup green or brown lentils, sorted and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk (reserve 2 tablespoons for drizzling on top of soup)
¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
To garnish:
Extra fresh diced cilantro
Pita or naan bread for dipping
Instructions
Add vegetable oil during a large pot and place over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add in onion, sweet pepper , cilantro and garlic. Saute until onions are translucent and green peppers soften, about 3-5 minutes. Bring heat to medium low and add in spices and crushed tomatoes, simmer for a couple of minutes until it comes together.
Step 2
Next stir in lentils and coconut milk, reserving 2 tablespoons of coconut milk for drizzling on top once the soup is completed . Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring soup to boil, then reduce heat and simmer over medium low for 20-30 minutes or until lentils are soft and tender. The soup should thicken up almost like how tomato soup is. (If it gets too thick for your liking, then be happy to feature ½ cup-1 cup water or broth.) Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 3
Serve soup immediately and drizzle during a circle with leftover coconut milk and cilantro. i really like to serve mine with naan or pita bread for dipping. Serves 4.
