Thai Red Lentil Soup

Name: Thai Red Lentil Soup
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1-2 tbsp Butter; 1 Onion; 2-3 tbsp Thai red curry paste; 300 g Red lentils; 1.75 litres Vegetable stock; 200 ml Coconut milk; Cooked chicken; Salt and pepper

This wee soup is probably one of the handiest recipes you'll ever make. It's perfect to warm you up on the colder days and packed with flavour. Lovely and fragrant from the Thai red curry paste, yet creamy and delicious with the addition of coconut milk. You can add some chicken for an added protein boost, something I'm trying to get my Nanny and Granda to do

So I’d been meaning to make this soup for ages and already had all of the ingredients in, but as usual I am basically incapable of following a recipe and also forgetful so instead of Thai red lentil soup it’s just Thai red soup (I forgot to add the lentils) also added some sweet potato and carrots that I had laying around and cooked it in the slow cooker .. but apart from that it’s exactly the same as yours 🤣. It was delicious though and went well with a cheesy 2 ingredient flat bead on the side ☺️

That sounds delicious Nikki 🤤 That's the beauty of cooking unlike baking, you can play about with the recipe more! The lentils thicken it up and obviously there's some flavour there as well. But you did a great job replacing them with sweet potato and carrots 👏🏻 Great intuition! Did you make the flatbreads? They look so good 🙌🏻

I did mine in the slow cooker so the plan was to add them a couple of hours before the end but I forgot! 🤣 but yeah, carrots and sweet potatoes worked really well and good for the added nutrients. Yeah the flatbreads are just those 2 ingredient ones (three if you include the pinch of salt) but it’s just fat free yogurt and self raising flour. They’re good as they are but obviously a bit of grated cheese on top doesn’t hurt! 😂
