Steps:
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic and add to a large pan with the olive oil.
- Saute for about 5 minutes or until very fragrant and the onion is translucent.
- Add in all of the spices, salt and chopped carrots.
- Saute for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add in the red lentils, tomato paste, coconut milk and vegetable broth.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to (very) low and let simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Transfer to a high speed blender (you will probably need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your blender) and process until completely smooth. If you have an immersion blender, you can use that instead!
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Feel free to thin it out with extra vegetable broth if desired.
- Transfer back to the pot and garnish with chopped parsley, red pepper flakes and a few dollops of coconut yogurt.
