Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  3. Add red lentils, diced red bell pepper, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Stir well.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender and soup has thickened.

Notes

For extra protein, serve with a side of grilled chicken or tofu. Adding a squeeze of fresh lime just before serving brightens the flavors.
