How to Make Hearty Vegetable And Lentil Soup

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, carrots, parsnip, and kumara. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Stir in curry paste and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in vegetable stock and water. Add lentils. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until vegetables and lentils are tender.
  5. While the soup simmers, prepare the coriander yogurt: In a small bowl, combine half the yogurt with the chopped coriander. Blend until smooth.
  6. Stir the remaining yogurt into the blended coriander yogurt.
  7. Refrigerate the coriander yogurt until ready to serve.
  8. Once the soup is cooked, carefully transfer it in batches to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  9. Return the blended soup to a clean saucepan. Add extra boiling water if needed to reach your desired consistency. Heat through.
