Recipe Tips

  • You can use any type of lentils for this recipe, but red lentils tend to break down more and create a creamier texture.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, be careful when pureeing the soup in a regular blender. Make sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending and only fill the blender halfway to avoid any accidents.
  • You can also serve this soup with a dollop of plain yogurt or a swirl of coconut cream for added creaminess.
