Red Lentil Curry Soup

Soup

40 minutes

4 servings

Overview

Red Lentils transition great from Phase One to Phase Two eating. Many people don’t realize they are sensitive to beans, and lentils seem to be easier to digest. Add shredded chicken to the soup for added texture and meat protein, or pair with a salad for lunch or dinner.

  • 2 tablespoon(s) organic coconut oil

Steps

1. In a medium soup pot, sauté the onions with the coconut oil on medium heat for 5-8 minutes, or until translucent. Stir often.

2. Add the garlic, cilantro stems, ginger, cumin, coriander, and curry powder and cook for 2 minutes.

3. Add the water, and lentils, and turn heat to high. Once boiling, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir frequently so the lentils don't stick.
