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.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils. Red lentils are the most common type used in this soup, but you can also use green lentils, brown lentils, or a mix of all three. Each type of lentil has a slightly different flavor and texture, so using a variety will add depth and complexity to the soup.
- Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent them from becoming mushy. Once they are tender but still hold their shape, they are done.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use organic vegetables to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Don't be afraid to add spices. Spices are what give this soup its unique flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for this soup include cilantro, yogurt, and naan bread.
Conclusion:
Spicy red lentil coconut soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover lentils. With its creamy texture, bold flavors, and wholesome ingredients, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
