Good morning!
Today is the day! I am finally publishing a recipe. This is my first one and I decided to write it down how I am making it.
This is for 4 portions – 2 meals for a family of two
Ingredients : 1 medium onion, 1 carrot, 1 canned lentil – medium size, 300 g Coconut milk, 1.5 l of water or enough to cover the vegetables, celery, garlic, parsley, curry, salt, pepper and garlic powder, any type of oil – where there is no measure, you can add it in the soup according to your preference. If you have fresh lentil, leave it in water over night.
How I do this soup:
Step 1: I clean all the vegetables, I cut the garlic and the onion small. In the soup pot, put a little oil, put all vegetables and just mix fast in order not to get the vegetables stuck. The lentil I usually add it later, because is canned but if you have fresh lentil, after leave it over night in the water, you can add it together with the other vegetables. I also add here the parsley.
Step 2: Add water – depending on the pot – you have to keep in mind that the soup will be put inn a blender so you don’t want to make it too watery, I just put 4 cm of water over the level of vegetables – leave it boil until the carrots and celery are done.
Step 3: Add the coconut milk, salt, pepper, curry and leave it boil a little bit.
Step 4: Taste the soup and trust your instinct. If it needs salt, add salt, add garlic powder, you will feel what is missing.
Step 5: I use a vertical blender so I usually blend it as soon as I take it from the stove. If you have other kitchen equipment, please see the recommended way. I leave it just blended, but you can also use a strainer to make creamy.
Extra: I love making croutons for soups so I take bread, cut it in squares, add olive oil, salt and thyme leaves. Leave it in the oven until it gets golden and crispy and this is it!
I hope someone will understand the way I cook 🙂 Thank you!
