About this recipe

Red lentil soup with coconut milk is a thick, plant-based soup made with vegetable broth, red lentils, onion, and curry powder. The lentils soften quickly and naturally thicken the soup, making it filling without meat. Coconut milk adds creaminess and gentle sweetness, while curry powder adds a warm, aromatic contrast. This is an easy lentil soup that works well as a complete everyday meal.

Ingredients

Servings
Base: 6
  • 180 g red lentils

  • 1 onion

  • 900 ml vegetable broth

  • 150 ml coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

Steps

  1. Rinse the red lentils in a sieve, finely chop the onion, and have the coconut milk, broth, and curry powder ready to add during cooking.

  2. Cook the onion and curry powder for 3–4 minutes in 3 tablespoons of the broth, until the onion softens and the curry becomes fragrant.

  3. Add the rinsed lentils and remaining broth. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the lentils begin to soften and thicken the soup. Stir occasionally, reaching the bottom of the saucepan with the spoon to prevent the lentils sticking.

  4. Pour in the coconut milk and stir thoroughly. Simmer over low heat for another 3–4 minutes. Taste a few lentils: they should be tender, with no hard centers. If they need more time, keep simmering gently and stirring. Divide the soup between bowls.
