Best Lentil Soup Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 TBSPs coconut oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 TBSPs minced ginger
1 TBSP mild curry powder
1/4 TSP crushed red pepper flakes, more to taste
1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup dried French green lentils, rinsed and drained
2 1/2 cups water
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 TSP sea salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced cilantro
2 TBSPs fresh lime juice

Recipe Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and lightly browned around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes, reducing the heat to low as needed.
With the heat on low, add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, lentils, water, coconut milk, 1/2 TSP salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer, stirring only occasionally, until the lentils are tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
If your soup is too thick, stir in 1/2 to 1 cup more water to reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the cilantro and lime juice.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
