CURRIED RED LENTIL SOUP WITH TOASTED COCONUT
Fresh ginger along with plenty of earthy spices like turmeric and coriander add complexity to this otherwise unassuming lentil soup. The dish is perfect for a weeknight as the legumes here cook fairly quickly. Pairing the lentils with bold, warming spices gives them a big boost of flavor in a short amount of time. To make the soup feel extra special, toast coconut flakes for a crunchy topping, and put out bowls of roughly chopped cilantro, thinly sliced scallions and lime wedges, so guests can top their soup as they please. If you're feeling ambitious, a topping of fried shallots seasoned with flaky salt would also be nice.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and the carrot, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook 1 minute more, adding a small drizzle of olive oil and lowering the heat if necessary to make sure they don't burn. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric and ground coriander and cook for about 30 seconds more until fragrant.
- Add the lentils and vegetable stock, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the lentils are soft and cooked through, about 30 minutes. If you prefer your soup looser, add in 1/2 to 1 cup more water and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until heated through.
- While the soup simmers, heat a medium skillet over low heat. Toast the coconut flakes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasonings. Serve in bowls and pass the coconut flakes at the table. If desired, serve with bowls of cilantro, scallions and lime wedges at the table.

SPICY LENTIL-COCONUT CURRY/SOUP
This is a modification of a soup recipe I learned in a vegan cooking class. I've tinkered with it quite a bit over the years, and it's quite different from the original now. It can be made as a curry or a soup, depending on the amount of liquid used. When I make it as a curry, I often double this recipe and serve it over recipe #284073. Use onion if you can't find fennel, or to ramp up the spiciness. To prepare fennel bulbs, cut off stalks and strip outer layer off bulb before chopping. Freezes well.

Steps:
- Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed large soup pot on medium until a drop of water sizzles in it; be careful not to let the oil smoke.
- Add garlic and saute for 1 min, stirring.
- Continue to stir fairly frequently as you add more veggies, and keep the lid on in between stirring. Add onion and saute 5 minute Add carrots and celery and saute another 5 minute Add the cauliflower, potato and kale, and saute another 5 minute
- Add the curry, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and chili powder and stir. Let saute a few more minutes, and then add everything else. (NOTE: if you prefer, you can use more bouillon instead of the granulated garlic, granulated onion and celery powder.).
- Bring to a boil uncovered, stirring occasionally, and then reduce to medium low and partially cover.
- Stir occasionally and test lentils after about 25 minutes. Continue cooking until they are soft. If you find the broth needs more flavor, add more bouillon or more of the curry seasonings.
- Serve with lemon or lime wedges to squeeze into the soup.
Tips:
- Use dried lentils. Dried lentils are more flavorful than canned lentils and they hold their shape better in soup. If you only have canned lentils, rinse them well before using.
- Toast the spices. Toasting the spices in a little oil before adding them to the soup brings out their flavor and makes them more aromatic.
- Use a good quality coconut milk. Not all coconut milks are created equal. Look for a brand that is thick and creamy, and avoid brands that contain added sugar.
- Don't be afraid to add heat. This soup is naturally mild, so feel free to add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add a dollop of Sriracha or sambal oelek when serving.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. This soup is delicious served with rice, naan, or roti. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, or a sprinkle of cilantro or chopped peanuts.
Conclusion:
This spicy lentil coconut curry soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try!
