Curried Carrot Lentil Soup Recipes

CURRIED CARROT & LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Tip the spices into the pan and briefly heat to toast them. Pour in 800ml water and pile in the carrots, leek and garlic. Crumble in the stock cube, then cover and cook over a high heat for 10 mins.
• Tip in the lentils with their liquid and most of the chopped coriander, then cover and cook for 5 mins more. Blitz the soup with a hand blender to part-purée it. Serve topped with the remaining coriander and the yogurt, if you like. Will keep in the fridge for 3 days.

INSTANT POT CURRIED CARROT RED LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Saute onion for 5 minutes
• Hit the "Saute" button on your Instant Pot. Add olive oil. When hot, add the onions. Saute until transluscent, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and curry powder and cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the carrots, broth, lentils, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine.
• Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the release valve is in the "sealing" position. Press the "Manual" button and set the timer for 10 minutes.
• The Instant Pot take about 10 minutes to warm up and then will start cooking. After the 10 minutes is up, quick-release by flipping the release valve to "venting" - a little at a time at first.
• Once venting is complete, remove the Instant Pot lid. Let cool for a few minutes, then puree. You can either use a stick blender (also known as an immersion blender) or puree in batches in the blender.
• Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Ladle into bowls, garnish if desired, and serve.
