Vegan Red Lentil Soup With Coconut Milk

5 / 5 (17 reviews)

This vegan carrot and red lentil soup with coconut milk is a nutritious and delicious one pot recipe. This easy to make soup has great texture, a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk, and a smoky heat from the chipotle in adobo sauce. A truly great flavor combo your whole familia will love.

My entire family loves this recipe! I've been cooking this since Thanksgiving of this year, and each time that I've made it since then, the entire pot has been emptied in just 2 days! The cilantro on top adds a nice pop of color and flavor, too. Delicious!!

Great soup, Aline! And I would like to share what I did for a quick full meal : I cooked everything in an InstantPot for 18 mins on high pressure. While the soup was cooking, I sliced and marinated 2lbs of Catfish with lemon, salt, garlic, and pepper. After the soup was done, I added the catfish to the pot , which cooked super fast ( 1 minute, maybe???). Served over coconut white rice. Família loved it!!! Daughter asked to take leftover to school for lunch- that is the biggest compliment! Thank you for your delicious recipes!

This is nice and thick and hearty and I love the color. Perfect while it's still a little chilly out too.

Marisa Franca ★ 5.0/5

I was craving soup and the soups I thought of, I didn't have the ingredients on hand. I was not going to try to go to the store -- again. I saw this recipe and I couldn't believe I had everything!! Luck me, because I made it and it was delicious. I did add a little jalapeño to it along with the chipotle - we like it spicy. It was delicious and I'll be making it again.

I actually have most of the ingredients on hand for this Lentil soup and am excited to try it. Do you think it freezes well? I am the only one here that eats lentils. If not I will make a smaller batch.
