Description
A vibrant and nourishing one-pot soup that is both comforting and invigorating. Creamy red lentils simmer in a fragrant broth of turmeric, ginger, and coconut milk. The soup is finished with a topping of crispy, spiced chickpeas for contrasting texture.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted very dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Crispy Chickpea Topping
- Build the Flavor Foundation
- Bloom the Aromatics
- Simmer the Lentils to Tenderness
- Create Creamy Consistency
- Final Seasoning and Serve
Notes
For a creamier soup, blend half of the soup before adding the spinach. The crispy chickpeas are best added just before serving to maintain their crunch. This soup thickens as it sits; thin with a little water or broth when reheating if desired.
