COCONUT, PUMPKIN AND RED LENTIL SOUP
Author: From Healthy Blender Recipes
Recipe type: Lunch
Ingredients
- ¼ block of organic creamed coconut or 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup organic red lentils
- 1½ liters of vegetable stock
- ¼ of a pumpkin cut into cubes
- 2 red onions chopped
- Large bunch of organic silver beet or baby spinach leaves
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1-2 Tbls. freshly grated ginger, to taste
- Celtic sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, dissolve the creamed coconut with some filtered water until melted. Throw in the garlic, onions, pumpkin, and lentils with a pinch of Celtic sea salt and stir until coated. Add in the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
- Simmer on a medium flame for about 40 minutes until the lentils are cooked through. The soup should be quite thick and the vegetables should have broken down. You could mash further with a stick blender, but it is often not necessary.
- Now stir in the greens, and squeeze in the desired amount of fresh grated ginger. Cook for a further 5 minutes until the greens are just wilted and cooked.
