Vegan One-Pot Healthy Red Lentil Coconut Soup Recipe
This healthy and super creamy red lentil soup is one of my favourites. It is naturally flavoured with the sweetness of coconut milk and one of the easiest dishes to make.

Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentil
- 1 can coconut milk (400 ml)
- 1 medium size onion finely chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup carrot diced
- 1/2 cup american corn
- 1 tsp oil
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp chilly powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Take the red lentil, wash and soak. No need to soak it for long. Just let it sit while you start preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat the oil, add the bay leaves, onions and garlic. Sauté till the onions are transparent.
- Add the salt, cinnamon powder and red chilly powder. Add the carrots and American corn. Sauté for 2 mins.
- Add the red lentil along with the coconut milk and ½ a cup of water.
- Cook on medium heat for about 20 or till the red lentil turn yellow.
- Add water to adjust the consistency of the soup.
Notes
- I like the soup thick and so I don’t add too much water, but you can always add more. Adjust the salt accordingly to the additional water.
- You can increase the spice levels should you want, but my suggestion would be to keep it to the minimum, because this will take away the natural flavor of the ingredients.
