Make Golden Red Lentil Curry Soup Vegan for a Plant-Based Version

This vegan golden red lentil curry is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

This recipe is naturally vegan and vegetarian, since it uses plant-based ingredients and vegetable stock. If you don’t care about making it vegan or vegetarian, you can choose to use a chicken stock instead.

How Do I Make Creamy Red Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk?

  1. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.  Add the garlic and onions. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add the carrots,  ginger, lentils, curry powder, tomatoes, parsley, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.
  3. Cover and simmer the lentils for 20 to 25 minutes until the water has absorbed and the lentils are tender.
  4. Remove lid and stir in the coconut milk. Top with fresh chili flakes and salt and pepper if desired. Serve with lime juice if desired.

    Thank you for the recipe. It may sound odd, but I enjoyed it without the curry or red pepper flakes. It was satisfying and the perfect soup on a cold evening trying to finish recovering from a cold. Thank you
