Blending removes all fibrous texture, making this safe even during flares. Red lentils break down very smoothly. Avoid adding seeds or nut toppings. Store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze in portions.


Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons
    olive oil
  • 1
    medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2
    garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Teaspoon
    fresh ginger, grated
  • 4
    medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon
    ground cumin
  • 1/2 Teaspoon
    ground turmeric
  • 1 Cup
    red lentils, rinsed
  • 4 Cups
    low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 Cup
    coconut milk
  • 3/4 Teaspoons
    salt

Instructions

  1. Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute more.

  2. Add carrots, cumin, and turmeric. Stir to coat everything in the spices and cook for 2 minutes.

  3. Add red lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until lentils are completely soft and carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. Use an immersion blender (or transfer in batches to a blender) and blend until completely smooth.

  5. Stir in coconut milk and salt. Warm through over low heat for 2–3 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.
