Instruction:

This dish is easier than you may expect for such a tasty curry lentil soup. Cook the onions for a few minutes on medium heat before adding the ginger, garlic, curry powder, and red pepper flakes. Then add the sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, tomatoes, lentils, water, and coconut milk. Toss in the chopped cilantro squeeze in a good amount of lime, and cook while the lentils are cooked, about 25 minutes.

Enjoy this lentil soup alongside some delicious crusty bread, a big salad, or some avocado toast with a dash of lemon. A side dish of vegetables, such as baked sweet potatoes, roasted cauliflower, or broccoli, would go well with it. You may freeze leftovers for up to an entire month or keep them in the refrigerator for a maximum of four days!
