Ginger Carrot Red Lentil Soup

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: About 2 quarts of soup 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 Tablespoon butter, melted
  • 3/4 Tablespoon fresh grated ginger root
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 cup peeled, chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 3 cups chopped carrots
  • 4 – 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup red lentils (uncooked)
  • 1/4 cup basmati rice (dry)
  • 1 15-oz. can light coconut milk
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 – 2 Tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then add the ginger and spices. Cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add the onion & celery, increase the heat to medium and saute for a couple more minutes or until the onions are tender and translucent. Stir in the carrots and cook a little longer until the carrots start to tenderize.
  2. Add the broth, lentils and rice, cover and cook for about 20 – 30 minutes or until the rice, lentils and carrots are tender.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool a bit. Carefully blend the soup in a blender until smooth, pulsing several times at first, and then set to blend (or use an immersion blender). Return to the saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and stir in the coconut milk, sugar and lime juice. Add salt & pepper to taste.

Notes

Add some more cayenne and some powdered ginger to taste if you want a little kick in your soup.
