Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, more to taste
  • 1 28-ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup dried French green lentils, rinsed and drained
  • cups water
  • 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup diced cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and lightly browned around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes, reducing the heat to low as needed.
  • With the heat on low, add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, lentils, water, coconut milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer, stirring only occasionally, until the lentils are tender, 25 to 35 minutes. If your soup is too thick, stir in 1/2 to 1 cup more water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
  • Store leftover soup in the fridge for up to 4 days. If it thickens too much in the fridge, stir in a little water while you reheat it until you reach your desired soup consistency. This soup also freezes well.
