Recipe-Red lentil soup



Red lentil soup is a great option for autumn dinners. This due to the content of healthy lentils, rich in nutrients and also spices that have warming properties.
Soups contain many valuable nutritional properties such as: carbohydrates and minerals. rich in B & E vitamins or beta-carotene.
Also fibre which stimulates appetite and  assists in fighting hunger cravings.



Below are cooking and ingredient steps to delicious  bowl of soup: Red lentil soup

Components:


1 cup red lentils
1.5 tablespoons of masala -I used 2 different kind of masala
1 tablespoon of turmeric powder
1 can of peeled tomatoes
1 can of coconut milk
1.5 l vegetable broth
2 teaspoons salt
Cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon coconut oil
 

Method for preparing:
Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan. Add garam masala, turmeric powder (easily sourced from your local Indian stores), pepper, salt and mix thoroughly.
Add the chopped tomatoes, broth, rinsed lentils and cook until lentils begin to crumble/soften.
At the end, add coconut milk and bring to the boil for 2 minutes.
Before serving the soup, blend to get  a creamy consistency. ( I always use Nutribullet for this step).



Today was the first time I cooked this type of soup and it is delicious !!
