Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste (vegan)
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown or coconut sugar

  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ tablespoon sambal oelek or Sriracha (optional)
  • Chopped purple cabbage (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add grated ginger and red curry paste, frying for about 1 minute while stirring.

  3. Add sea salt, black pepper, coconut sugar, and soy sauce; stir to combine. Add lentils and stir again.
  4. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until lentils are fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
  5. Squeeze lime juice into the soup, stir, and remove from heat. Adjust salt to taste.
  6. Optionally stir in sambal oelek or Sriracha for heat and top with chopped purple cabbage if desired.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

This soup is versatile and can be adjusted with additional vegetables or toppings like lime juice, Greek yogurt, or fresh herbs. Red lentils provide a creamy texture, but yellow lentils can be substituted. Serve with naan bread or rice for a complete meal.
