Warming, comforting and not too spicy – this mildly curry flavoured soup is made family-friendly using a mild Indian curry paste. You can use something spicier for an “adults-only” kick of heat.
Ingredients
Serves: 4-6
Method
Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the onion.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes, until soft and golden.
Add the carrot, zucchini and celery and cook, stirring occasionally for another five minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger, stir and cook for another minute.
Stir in curry paste and cook for a minute.
Pour in the Nuttelex Chicken Style Stock and add the red split lentils, season lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bring to the boil then turn down the heat, cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the basmati rice and cook for a further 12 minutes, covered. Stir occasionally.
Stir in the coconut milk, chopped tomatoes, and lemon juice and heat thoroughly before serving.
Chefs Tip
Serve in deep bowls garnished with a little of the chopped coriander.
Serve with lemon wedges, baby poppadums and remaining coriander.
