Thai red lentil & coconut soup
this is my absolute favourite soup I’ve ever come up with :’).
half a tablespoon of Thai red curry paste - 12
50g of red lentils (raw/uncooked) - 166
200ml of Kara coconut milk - 54 (you could probably use almond, rice or normal cows milk instead)
1/4 of a vegetable stock cube - 20
100ml of boiling water - 0
5g of shredded coconut - 33
thinly sliced garlic clove - 5
a tiny little bit of ginger sliced thinly - 5
3g of olive oil for frying - 25 (basically a teaspoon)
wash the lentil under a tap
heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the garlic, coconut and ginger for 1 minute
added the curry paste and fry for a further 1 minute.
add in the lentils, milk, stock and water
when it all boils, leave to simmer for 10 minutes, stir with a wooden spoon from time to time.
once the lentils have cooked, blend/food process until smooth
that’s pretty much it for the soup but i added veggies to mine (yellow bell pepper, courgette and mushrooms) so if you want to do the same just put the soup back in the pan with the veggies and cook them together for about 2 minutes.
enjoy! :)
