Ingredients
To make this hearty creamy vegan lentil soup, you will need the following ingredients:
Lentils - This recipe uses regular lentils. But green or black lentils can be used.
Garbanzo noodles - This is a grain-free noodle that is packed with proteins and is vegan too.
Onion, celery, garlic, and ginger - flavor enhancers. Do not skip the ginger.
Potato - chunks of potato make any soup comforting and this soup is no exception.
Kale - Kale is a nutrition powerhouse. Adding this improves the nutrition profile. Kale takes a few minutes to cook and should be added about 5 minutes after adding the pasta. You can use spinach instead.
Cumin - Digestive and flavor enhancing spice
Salt - adds flavor
Coconut milk - Adds to the flavor and creaminess of the soup.
Black pepper and cayenne - add to the spicy kick.
Oil - coconut oil or any oil will work
What variations can be made to this soup?
Meaty potatoes add a comfort layer in the soup. However, for a variation, you can add sweet potatoes nstead of potatoes, or skip the potatoes. Any greens can be used instead of kale. If using spinach, add it at the last minute as it cooks quicker.
How many servings can be made with this recipe?
This recipe makes a good amount of soup that can easily serve 4-6 hungry people. If serving with a side of salad/sandwich this can serve 6-8 people.
Storage
I store leftovers, if any, in the refrigerator. Warm in microwave or on stovetop and serve.
