Warming Red Lentil Curry Soup

With the colder weather now here, I love trying out different soup recipes for me and my 3 year old to enjoy. They are so easy to make and they are an amazing way to increase you and your children's vegetable intake.

This wonderful recipe was very easy to make and I used all the things I usually have in stock in the pantry and fridge.  

What you will need:

1 small white onion
1/2 leek (optional)
1 cup of dried red lentils
6-8 medium sized carrots
1-2 clove of garlic (optional)
1 whole bay leaf
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp fresh coriander
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp curry powder (optional)
1 cup plenish oat milk

How to make your soup:

1. Heat a pot over medium heat with a bit of coconut oil
2. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes.
3. Add 3 cups of filtered water, lentils, carrots, bay leaf, curry (optional), ginger, coriander and cloves.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Stir in 1 tsp of garam masala and turn off heat. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
6. Transfer soup to a blender or use an immersion blender, add in the oat milk and puree until smooth and creamy.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve in your favourite bowl
