Categories     Chowders

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups red lentils
4 cups water
1 sweet potato
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion (diced)
2 garlic cloves (diced)
3 teaspoons turmeric
2 teaspoons cumin (ground)
1 1/4 teaspoons coriander (ground)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils in a strainer under cold running water (preferably filtered). Pick them over and discard any small stones. Put the water and salt in a medium-sized sauce pan. Bring to boil. Add the rinsed lentils, reduce heat and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Scoop off any excess foam on the top and discard.
  • Peel (optional) the sweet potatoes and dice into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to lentils and continue cooking.
  • Dice the onions and and garlic. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil, onions, garlic and spices over low heat. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until the onions have become soft and translucent.
  • Add spice mix to the soup and continue to cook and occasionally stir until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add more water if soup is too thick.
  • Tip for kid-friendly. Reduce or don't add the garlic, onions and/or cayenne if you have a spice-sensitive kid. And if your kid is picky on texture, you can put the soup in a blender (make sure you hold the top down firmly so you don't have a hot-soup explosion) and a few ice-cubes and serve 'smooth-style'.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO SOUP

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 teaspoons curry powder
2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock
1 large apple, peeled, cored and grated
1/2 cup light coconut milk

Steps:

  • In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very soft. Add in the garlic and curry powder and cook for another minute.
  • Add in the sweet potatoes, stock, and apple. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes, or until potatoes and apples are very soft.
  • Process with an immersion blender (or in batches with a regular blender) until smooth.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and reheat gently without boiling.
  • Serve with warm pita bread.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance. Dicing the chicken, chopping the vegetables, and measuring out the spices beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure to do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the chicken brown evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. The curry powder is the key to the flavor of this soup, so make sure to use a good quality brand. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level. The amount of curry powder called for in this recipe is just a starting point. If you like your soup spicy, you can add more curry powder to taste. Just be sure to add it gradually, as a little bit goes a long way.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. This soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as chopped cilantro, plain yogurt, or a squeeze of lime juice.
