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

  1. Prepare the Crispy Chickpea Topping
  2. Build the Flavor Foundation
  3. Bloom the Aromatics
  4. Simmer the Lentils to Tenderness
  5. Create Creamy Consistency
  6. 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.
