How to Make Lentil Vegetable Coconut Curry Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Do not let the oil smoke.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped cauliflower florets, 1 cup cubed potatoes, and 2 cups chopped kale. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon coriander, and ½ teaspoon chili powder (or to taste). Stir well and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Add 1 cup red lentils, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 4 cups vegetable broth, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  8. Bring to a boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
  9. Stir occasionally and check lentils for doneness after 25 minutes. Add more vegetable broth if needed to adjust consistency.
  10. If the broth needs more flavor, add more curry powder, garam masala, or bouillon cubes to taste.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.
