INGREDIENTS
150g cooked Red Lentils
1/2 cup canned Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 inch Fresh Ginger
1 medium Carrot
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
2 cups Vegetable Broth
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and prepare them if using dry, or measure out if already cooked.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot.
In a large pot over medium heat, lightly sauté the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes, red lentils, chickpeas, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
Pour in the light coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and flavors meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess.
Serve warm and enjoy the aromatic, hearty goodness.
