Carrot and Lentil Soup.

#lentilrecipe #carrotsoup #healthyfood
This recipe came from a magazine and I only changed a couple of things.
1.5 L water
2 cups dried lentils
3 cups sliced carrots
1 medium onion
2 T curry powder
2 T grated ginger, divided
1 small can of tomato paste
1 small can of coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup dried goji berries. I used 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
I'll make this again. In my version I only used 1 cup of dried lentils but I found my soup was a little thin. Next time I am going to cut back the water by 1 cup and see how that goes.
My family enjoys the flavours in curry. I may be tempted to make some rice to serve with this next time though the sourdough was quite good.
Thanks for watching,
Annette

Wow Annette. That sounds delish. Love the use of lentils. Have you tried dehydrating tomato peels for tomato powder to make quick tomato paste by adding water? I have a cool red lentil chili I made before when we had access to bulk grains.

Thanks Lisa! I’ve never made dried tomato skins. I bet that is an awesome way to make the tomato paste. I have whole dried tomatoes but they would probably gum up my blender by the feel of them. 😅
Red lentil chilli sounds so good. We have quite a bit of lentils in storage. I really should cook with them more!
Happy Monday friend! 🌺
