One Pot Curried Lentil Tomato Soup
This one pot curried lentil tomato soup – is just, a DREAM. It is all made is one pot (easy cleanup) and is so perfect to make ahead and meal prep. All you have to do is just pack it away, and warm it up. It’s thick, creamy and not to mention, completely plant-based.
I grew up eating lentil daal made with Indian spices and turmeric, and this is a rendition inspired by that.
How it’s done:
SPICES galore, we are blooming up ginger, cumin, turmeric, curry powder, coriander and red pepper all with onions and garlic – it makes this broth addicting and delicious.
It’s then tossed together with red lentils, crushed tomatoes, coconut milk and water till cooked throughout.
Give it toppings!
Garnish with your favorite ingredients! For this I love to top with cilantro, lime juice and serve with white rice and naan.
EAT as is, or meal prep for the week:
I’m packing up my lentil soup in Klean Kanteen’s new food boxes – they come with a silicone lid that seals so tightly when pressed into place. It also comes with snap-and-lock tabs for extra leak protection. Perfect to take to work, camping, or even just meal prep in the fridge while we’re all at home.
