Soups

Coconut Red Lentil Soup w/ Chard

IMG_2947-1024x682This Coconut Red Lentil Soup is… AMAZING! Seriously, you have to give it a try, and especially if you love coconut milk. This soup is so nourishing, comforting and the flavors are very well balanced. You will need canned coconut milk (not the carton version), and you will need the full fat version. I’m not a big fan of low-fat and fat-free products. It’s much more satisfying and nourishing when the fat is present, and coconut milk provides good saturated fats (yes I know, I said saturated fats – saturated fats are not all created equal).

This soup is made with chard, which is a dark green leafy vegetable, but if you don’t have it, you can always use spinach. I love to add greens everywhere! They are so healthy. I also used fresh lemongrass. When you use fresh lemongrass, you have to remove the first layer, cut the edges, and finely minced the inside. Lemongrass really add a nice touch but can be omitted if you can’t find it.

I hope you like this soup as much as I did. It gets cold these days in Southern California and having a warm bowl of soup is always very enjoyable. My picky husband even had 3 bowls! If you make it, let me know how you and your family liked it!

Enjoy!
