Coconut curry lentil soup

 Coconut curry lentil soup in the crockpot. Took about 3 1/2 hrs on high. You literally chuck in all ingredients in and set it on high. I didn’t add salt and soy sauce until it was already cooked. I also used brown lentils instead of red.

1 tbsp coconut oil (or olive oil)

Stovetop Instructions:

In a stockpot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat and stir-fry the onion, garlic and ginger until the onion is translucent, a couple minutes.

Add the tomato paste (or ketchup), curry powder, and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.

Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk, diced tomatoes and lentils. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the lentils are very tender. Season with salt and pepper.
