This soup is our last recipe of 2019! We couldn’t think of a better final dish to share than a comforting, warm hug in the form of creamy soup in the midst of winter.
This 1-pot soup is Indian-inspired with a blend of red lentils, ginger, our go-to curry powder, carrots, and cauliflower, making it full of fiber and plant-based protein and big on flavor. Let us show you how it’s done!

This soup starts with sautéing onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot. Then add cauliflower, broth, and lentils.

For spices, we kept things simple with fresh ginger, curry powder, and a pinch of cayenne, which complements the sweetness of the carrots beautifully.
Note: Curry powder is not a common ingredient used in traditional Indian cooking, but rather an invention of the British to evoke the flavors of Indian cuisine. The term “curry” in Indian cooking refers to a sauce or gravy served with vegetables or meat. (source)

A touch of coconut milk before blending makes for the ultimate creamy texture. Swoon!

We hope you LOVE this soup! It’s:
- Creamy
- Comforting
- Nutrient-rich
- Quick & easy to make
- Versatile
- & Delicious
This would make the perfect weeknight soup when you need something nourishing on the table fast. It’s delicious on its own, but would also pair well with our Apple Pecan Arugula Salad, Garlic Herb Flatbread (or Naan), or our Easy Marinated Grilled Chicken.
Bonus: It reheats beautifully, making it ideal for leftovers, lunches, and freezer meals!

Creamy Curried Cauliflower Lentil Soup (1 Pot!)
Ingredients
- 2 tsp avocado oil (or sub water for oil-free)
- 1 medium white or yellow onion
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced (optional)
- 1 ½ tsp minced fresh ginger
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces (~4 cups as original recipe is written)
- 2-3 tsp curry powder
- 1 pinch cayenne (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or sub chicken broth if not vegan or vegetarian)
- 1/2 cup red lentils
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
- 2 Tbsp coconut cream (or sub 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk as the recipe is written // adjust amount if altering serving size)
Instructions
- Heat a large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, onion, carrots, and celery (optional) and sauté for 4-5 minutes — stirring occasionally. Then add ginger and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes more or until fragrant.
- Add cauliflower, curry powder, cayenne (optional), broth, lentils, and salt. Bring to a low boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until lentils and cauliflower are tender.
- Add coconut cream and blend with an immersion blender until creamy and no bits remain (if it has trouble blending, you can optionally transfer to a blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth).
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more curry powder for spice, cayenne for heat, or salt for overall flavor. Continue cooking for a few more minutes over medium heat.
- Serve as is or with garnish of choice (we went with fresh cilantro and an additional swirl of coconut milk). Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month.

Megan T says
I made this for lunch today — aiming to use up some red lentils! I had 8 oz of cauliflower rice in my freezer that I used instead of fresh cauliflower, it was easy and tasted perfect. Once it is all blended you don’t know the difference. I also used a tablespoon of dried coconut milk powder instead of the canned milk – less waste and saves the trouble of random unopened cans of coconut milk. At the end I stirred in some shredded “chickun” style seitan from the Gentle Chef cookbook for a big boost of vegan protein. Delicious!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Amazing! We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Megan! Thank you for sharing! xo
Sandy says
Hi, I would love to make this soup in the Instant pot and wonder if you could give me any idea if it would work and if so how long you would recommend for cooking time please.
It really looks amazing. Many thanks, Sandy
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
That should work great! We’d suggest cooking on high pressure for 4 minutes (after sautéing). Let us know how it goes!
Audrey says
For what it’s worth, my version looked nothing like the one on here – it was yellow (I used chicken broth) and my immersion blender barely cut through the veggies, so it was soupy with chunks of cauliflower. That said, the flavors are absolutely delicious! I added more salt at the end to boost the overall flavor, and I’ve also been serving it over quinoa to make it more of a meal. I would definitely make it again but if you’re looking for a creamy soup you should probably use a blender.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Audrey, thank you for sharing your experience! Yes, a high-speed blender will make it more creamy! For the color, using chicken broth was likely the difference there. We used vegetable broth with tomato paste in it, which gives it a red tone. Glad to hear you enjoyed the flavor! xo
Anon says
I think the orange colour comes from the mix of dried chilli powder (red) and turmeric (yellow). Simply yellow hue sounds like you didn’t add dried chilli powder. Secondly I have an immersion/stick blender and I get smooth soup when I whizz a portion or two of soup (400-800ml or roughly 1 1/2 cups – 3 cups) over a whole pan (which is too much volume – a rogue piece of veg gets unwhizzed). Also it sounds like your veg wasn’t cooked enough if your stick blender “barely cut through”… Just my thoughts :)
sophie says
love love this soup, made multiple times already!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Yay! Thanks for the lovely review, Sophie!
Mike says
Sorry, I forgot the other change I made – roasting the cauliflower ( tossed in 1 tbsp olive oil and a bit of S&P first) at 220c for 20-30 mins makes all the difference as you get a slight smoky flavour. Roasted cauliflower rules!!!!
Mike says
This soup was so amazing – made it for two and am already planning to make a bigger batch to freeze :-)
I made a few minor changes:
1) used a tbsp of ghee instead of oil and fried off 1/2 tsp of black mustard seeds then added about 10 fresh curry leaves and left them both to crackle and spatter for 30 seconds – this gives the ghee a fabulous flavour to cook the veggies in.
2) Used a zucchini instead of the celery as I’m not a fan of celery
3) Added finely chopped coriander to each serving.
So not massive changes but honestly this is possibly the best soup I’ve ever made so thanks a million for a great, simple recipe :-)
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Woohoo! Thanks for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications, Mike. We’re so glad you enjoyed! xo
Kirsty Knight says
Quite bland, this page used to be so good years ago, needed lots of TLC, I added fresh coriander and extra cumin, ground coriander and garam masala to save it. I should have known not to trust using curry powder for a decent recipe 😆 fortunately there are so many better pages for recipes
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Kirsty, sorry to hear you were disappointed in the result. If you didn’t use our DIY curry powder and vegetable broth, we would suggest those for best results. Also, making sure your spices are fresh (less than 6 months old) will ensure best flavor.
Anonymous says
Sounds like you used a bad curry powder! Aldi for example is rubbish because it’s mostly maltodextrin with a little spice, but other British supermarkets sell curry powder with a wide range of spices (ones I can’t find easily), which do add complexity to your final dish (using water instead of expensive veg stock too)…
Beverley A Phelan says
This soup is exceptional, for its ease of making, flavour and nutrition. It is a meal in itself.
We made it last week and again today as it is almost a must have to eat when you are hungry, when it is cold (& is here as is our winter- Australia Victoria ). Thank you Minimalist Baker. I’ll be looking out for more of your delights from the kitchen.
Beverley Phelan

Elizabeth Kelly says
A lovely & substantial soup that is perfect for a main meal, and also incredibly easy to make. I only made a few tiny changes to the recipe: – stock powder (because I’m too lazy to make my own);
– no ginger (only because I didn’t have any);
– added an extra teaspoon (or so) of curry (a mid strength one) which gave a lovely warmth to the soup;
– didn’t actually measure the water, simply used what looked right;
– a touch of cream rather than coconut milk.
This will be another keeper of a recipe.

Staci D says
I dunno… to me it tastes bland, even though I cooked it in the instant pot for extra depth.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Sorry to hear that, Staci! A few ideas- 1) Is your curry powder fresh? 2) Were you using a large head of cauliflower? Or did you measure out 4 cups? 3) You can add more coconut milk or cream for richness and curry powder for flavor. Hope that helps!

Hello, again! I had a massive amount of cauliflower to use, and this delicious and healthy soup was the perfect way.

Delicious!! I had a small head of cauliflower and a medium. Put them BOTH in. Flavors are just fantastic.
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Terri!
Erin says
This was super satisfying and filling. Some tweaks: I made a traditional mirapoix with celery, carrot and onion. Added 1 extra cup of veggie broth, and used about 4 cups of fresh riced cauliflower to make blending easier. (I’m also lazy and cooking for one.) I felt it needed 1 1/2 tsp of salt, and the juice of 1 lemon, about a half-teaspoon of cumin, and used (per another suggestion) an extra teaspoon of curry powder. Garnished with chopped cilantro, a swirl of coconut cream, and a shake of pepper. Accompanied by whole wheat baguette broiled with Earth Balance, garlic and EVOO, and topped with hummus…DINNER! Thank you as always!
How lovely! Thanks for sharing, Erin!!

Shannon Carpenter says
I am doing a detox diet and this recipe nearly fits all the criteria for a very limited selection of foods (lentils was the only ingredient I wasn’t supposed to eat).
Most importantly, it was incredibly tasty, easy and fast to make, and a perfect, hearty, winter soup!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Great! Thanks for sharing, Shannon! xo
Karly says
Love this soup so much. I appreciate that it feels very rich and hearty but is still vegan. I get annoyed breaking down fresh cauliflower, so I used Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower rice, which was easy and worked well. We made a double batch and ate it several days in a row over cilantro lime rice and garnished with some crispy chickpeas.
So kind! Thanks for sharing, Karly!
Taylor says
This is the first recipe from here I’ll never made again. As written, it came out really bland and required significantly more coconut milk and curry than called for. We tried to add rice or something to put with it, but somehow the rice absorbed whatever flavor in a really unpleasant way.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Taylor, we’re so sorry to hear that was your experience! This recipe is usually a reader favorite. A couple ideas: 1) too large of a head of cauliflower can dilute the flavors- did you use more than 4 cups? and/or 2) in our experience, some brands of vegetable broth are not flavorful or have a strange taste. Did you use a brand you usually enjoy? We prefer Pacific, Imagine, or our DIY version.
Lindsey says

Antesa says
This recipe is EPIC. It’s light while being substantial, satisfies almost any palette, is incredibly easy to make, doubles perfect, freezes wonderfully, tastes delicious… I love the idea of pureeing soups with lentils – there is a thickness to this that is excellent. Will be rotating this one into the weekly meal plan for all of winter.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing, Antesa!
Jessica says
We really liked this soup. We ate it for dinner on Sunday and have enjoyed it for lunches over the past two days. It was easy to make and used ingredients that we almost always have in the fridge/pantry. I used non-fat coconut milk and the texture was still very creamy thanks to the texture of the blended cauliflower (I have a feeling I’ll be adding cauliflower to most blended soups from now on – it’s so handy to keep some in the freezer). I also added a can of chickpeas after blending to add some texture.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Jessica!

Delicious! And very quick/easy for today’s lunch. I used green lentils as that’s what I had on hand and they did take longer to cook. They also made the colour of the soup… ah, not quite as pretty as the photos haha. But very very tasty. I accidentally used 2 Tablespoons of curry, but that was a perfect spice level for my family. Squeezed a bit of lemon over my bowl, as I do with most curries. Thank you!

This looks great- I’ll probably try making it tonight or maybe tomorrow- was looking for a new twist on Lentil soup (i know, there’s a lot of them out there..) I had a question: I only have a handful of red lentils left and really wanted to make a (brown) lentil soup since have Much more of them.. Would using the brown ones totally (as I suspect) change the texture of- and other important things about-the soup TOO MUCH? If so, do you have another recipe here (I cannot browse the site today as I’m already pretty far behind schedule and once I start looking- that’s it, I’m on it for literally an hour at a shot!) that rocks those lentils? Thanks in advance (sorry to be annoying).. LOVE, LOVE LOVE this food blog!!
You can sub brown or green lentils, they just take longer to cook!
Chelsea Fredrickson says
Made this for dinner tonight/lunch tomorrow and WHOA! So unbelievably delicious (as all of the MB recipes are).

I subbed the carrots for parsnips, the red lentils for brown ones & chucked in my own spices to taste instead of using Curry powder as we’re quarantining at the moment & so I’m having to make do with what’s in the cupboard.

Yummy soup. A hit with the whole family!Used green/brown lentils and it turned out great!!
Devon says
Delicious!! I used about 3/4 cup reduced-fat coconut milk instead of the coconut cream because that’s what I had on hand and I accidentally dumped too much in :) I also doubled the lentils to 1 c. to make the soup a bit more filling and protein-rich, and this soup absorbed the extra lentils with no problem. I also used the optional celery, cayenne, and cilantro. This recipe seems very forgiving and easy to experiment with, but since it was a big hit with me and my husband this time, I probably won’t change a thing! And this will definitely become part of our regular rotation.

I love this recipe! Have made this a few times over the last 2 months and shared it with a few people. It’s perfect for meal prepping. I’m curious about the use of lentils though. Is it for source of protein? Once everything’s blended, you can’t really tell or taste the lentils. Just curious. :)
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
It’s for protein, fiber, and to make it more filling =) You could omit and adjust accordingly, if desired!
Megan Rexin says
Just made this yesterday and help us all, it was fantastic. The heartiness of the soup and the warming spices in the curry powder were great for this random bit of snow that just hit. I left out the celery and added a teaspoon of turmeric. I also doubled the ginger (accidentally minced too much and just went with it) and used Better than Bouillon (roasted garlic base) for the broth. I went straight for the blender because I doubled the batch for company and an immersion blender would’ve taken awhile. I’m thinking to try blending half the soup next time so it keeps some texture. Definitely a winner in my book!

Leptosiphon says
Well, I measured everything but I wasn’t as impressed as I hoped I would be…initially. I had to add extra broth because it was way too thick. Then added about twice to three times more curry powder, and way more salt. It was just extremely plain otherwise. I also added extra coconut milk to make it more creamy. BUT now… It is really good! And with throwing it in the blender it is one of the easiest soups I have made! I would make it again, but still with the additional spices/broth/salt/coconut milk.

I just made this exactly as listed – no modifications. While it tasted good, my soup was not at all red like shown in the photos! My soup was actually a light green color. Yes, I used red lentils. And only one stalk of celery. Do you have any idea why this happened? It was visually unappealing.

Hi Melanie, we think it probably has to do with the type of vegetable broth used. You could try adding tomato paste and or using a broth with tomato paste in it next time!

I could taste all of the ingredients well enough, so I don’t think it was the quantities of any of the ingredients, but it needed some contrast. I might try adding a splash of lemon juice next time. Also, as someone else mentioned, my soup was nowhere near the color of the soup in the recipe, which I imagine is both the result of bumping the saturation in the photograph, and also using a different curry. The curry powder available to me was yellow, so the soup as also yellow. Oh and lastly, I can’t understand how anyone could complete the prep in 10 mins. It took me about 25. Overall, not bad, but I’m not sure I’ll try it again.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Jim, we used a broth with tomato paste in it, which resulted in a more red color. We wonder if maybe that made a difference in flavor as well. What brand of broth did you use?
Mary Beth says
Absolutely delicious. Thank you!!!!! :)
Claire Higgs says
One of the best soup recipes I’ve ever made! I put extra garlic, ginger, and curry powder as I like my soups spicy, and also added some sambal oelek for heat. I used a full can of lite coconut milk and a little less veggie broth. I also cooked it in my slow cooker, on high heat, for about 4 hours, then blended it in my blender. Turned out spectacular! Thanks for the recipe!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Whoop! We’re so glad you enjoy it, Claire! Thanks for sharing!
Isabelle says
Not as flavourful as I hoped, but the consistency and colour were nice. Next time I would double garlic and ginger.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Sorry to hear that, Isabelle! Was your curry powder fresh? Older spices tend to lose their potency.
Krista says
So delicious and quick! (Added a Sweet potato because I had one and why not) I could eat this everyday!
Barbara S Stoddard says
This has been my go-to recipe all winter. I make it every week and the amount is perfect for two people with a few leftover meals. The first time I made it I didn’t puree it. It was good, but even better once I used my immersion blender: smooth, creamy and richly flavored. Instead of the coconut cream I use 1/2 can of full fat coconut milk. I made it for my bookclub last night and they all loved it.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Yay! We’re so glad you and your bookclub enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!

Another winning recipe! This tasted so good and was so easy to make.
Tiffany says
Made this to combat the cold weather and it was amazing! Can’t wait to make it again.
Kay says
So easy and delicious
Keli says
I loved how easily this came together–and yes, it REALLY is a 1 pot meal! I did not chop or cut my veggies small as suggested as I knew the immersion blender would take care of this.
I will make it again…
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Keli!
Lin says
I made this for dinner tonight. I followed the recipe almost exactly, (using red lentils of course), but the soup was very YELLOW, not red like the picture! The only ingredient I omitted was the cayenne, which was listed as optional. Is that what makes it red? The soup in the picture looks much more enticing that mine did.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Lin, sorry to hear it didn’t turn out as expected! The color can depend on the vegetable broth as well as the curry powder. We used a veggie broth that has tomato paste in it. Hope that helps!
Sally says
Enjoyed this recipe very much. I finally took the plunge and got an immersion blender partially because I wanted to make this soup. No regrets! Will be making this again for friends’ Souperbowl party this weekend. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Thank you for sharing! Hope everyone enjoys it!
Sara says
I am slowly going vegan and really trying to improve my cooking and this is one of the most delicious recipes I’ve tried so far! I love it! Definitely making it again next week, and it stores really well. I eat it with a ton of Moroccan spices, walnuts, basmati rice and some roasted carrots and spinach!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing, Sara!
C says
This was so delicious, definitely a keeper! I added a pinch of chinese 5 spice to it, and used red curry powder. I’ll probably add a bit more lentils next time and leave it just a little bit chunky. I also made your naan bread recipe which paired perfectly with this, there were no leftovers – the 10 year old went for 3rd (:
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Whoop! We’re so glad everyone enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Lori says
Very good! Added 2 parsnips since I had some, and used brown lentils, also what I had. It made a lot! Used 6 cups of chicken broth because I had big head of cauliflower. Added more salt and pepper, plus turmeric, for my taste. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow!
Gaby says
I made this and accidentally put waaay too much ginger in it but it’s winter so I figured my immune system could only benefit from it and it was still delicious! Trying this again tonight for my week meal prep, creamy soup is the best winter meal and I’m always looking for new recipes :)
pennie says
I always wonder how big a serving really is? Is it 1 cup or 2? this looks so delicious I don’t want to eat the whole thing!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
1 serving is 1/4 of the total recipe. We would estimate about 2 cups.

Jeanne says
Delicious! I used the celery because I love it and I shook a few shakes of cayenne. It was not overwhelmingly hot, but left a nice burn on my lips. Bravo, great recipe! Oh, I did use chicken broth and added an extra cup, as it was rather thick. I will definitely make this again.
Thanks for sharing!!
CC says
Hi! I made the soup last night. The flavor is all there and delicious but the texture is a bit thick for me. Should I just add water to thin it out?
Thanks!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
That will work! Or more broth to avoid diluting the flavors.
Beth says
Wow, two winners in a row this weekend (sweet potato almond butter muffins). Followed recipe exactly because I wasn’t concerned about the color. I’m eating this right now over spaghetti squash and roasted veggies. Would also be good over rice.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Whoop! So glad to hear it, Beth!
Safa Islam says
Wonderful recipe I didn’t seen. I am very interest to make it like your directions. But I don’t like coconut oil, can I use mustard oil instead of coconut oil for the ultimate creamy texture ?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We haven’t tried that, but it might work. Let us know if you give it a try!
Kathleen says
My husband made this and we loved it. It is a keeper. He doubled it so we froze some. We used low sodium / no sodium added vegetable broth and the coconut milk option. He doubled the ginger because we love it, and he also put spinach and a couple of broccoli crowns we had to use up. He blended half very smooth and the rest not as smooth so there were tiny chunks of the ginger. We also used some very hot smoked pepper powder we made this summer from our garden, it added a little kick if you like that. Yum! Thank MB!

Mine is green and I followed exactly. Thoughts?
What kind of lentils did you use?
Karin says
Delicious, thank you!!
Dana says
Delicious! I added more curry and left out the coconut cream (because I didn’t have any). Mine also came out yellowish (like another reviewer) so I added some tomato paste and it was perfect!
My 8 yr old and 6 yr old loved it too, seconds all around :)
Maddie says
So delicious!! I added half a sweet potato because I didn’t have a lot of cauliflower on hand and it turned out amazing! Definitely will be making again.
Stacey Alwan says
This soup was delicious and filling. However, I wish mine looked as pretty as yours.
Jamie D. says
This soup was so good! I added extra curry powder and extra coconut cream and the juice from one lemon. I didn’t have any broth so I just added some tomato paste to the water. I had leftover brown rice in the fridge and I threw that in, too. I only pureed half of the soup. It turned into a hearty meal!
Merry Soellner says
Super easy and delicious! Especially nice on a cold winter night, with crusty bread. All ingredients are available at just about any grocery. I put a little too much cayenne in for most people, but I really love spice! Would make a wonderful 1st course of a nice dinner, too. It’s a little more unusual than a lot of the soup courses I’ve seen.
Again, delish! Try it!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Samantha says
This soup is so yummy! I made it last night, pretty much as the recipe called for (with slightly more lentils). I was actually surprised how flavourful it was! (Cauliflower can sometimes end up really bland). I blended 90% of it in my Vitamix and left the other 10% chunky. Soooo thick and delicious! Ate it for lunch with a little leftover basmati rice. Perfect winter meal!

Thanks, Kathy!
Fatma Acar Da Costa Soares Varajao Barbosa says
When I started cooking I realise I did not have caril , I continued .
I missed garlic as well.
At the end I for got to put coco cream ,
But hell yeah still a good result .
It will get much better with all ingredients.
Thanks for this tasty !!
Angela says
This was so delicious!! I only had green lentils on hand and they worked fine. I left the soup with some texture because I had some hungry kids who weren’t patient for me to purée the whole thing but it was still great! Such a filling warming soup! Highly recommend.
M says
This was SO good! I was a little worried as I was cooking it because cauliflower can smell not great to me while cooking. I had nothing to worry about, it was FANTASTIC! I mostly followed the recipe except I had to add more broth to cover all my cauliflower. I also subed chipotle for the cayenne-something I always do, just my preference. Thank you so much for yet another delicious recipe!!!
Lauren says
I used brown lentils instead of red so the color was a little drab, but once I served this, people ate it right up and only had good things to say. I have to say, the flavor the first night of serving it did not pack a punch (in my opinion), but I let it sit in the fridge for 2 days, the flavor frew, and it was delicious. Super easy to make. I love that it was in one pot. I did not use coconut cream, but light coconut milk. I added sour cream to mine because the light coconut milk was not as creamy as I wanted it (this was the first night). I did not add anything to the soup when I had it for left overs.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Thanks for sharing, Lauren! We’re glad you enjoyed this recipe!
anthony says
Wonderful for a winter’s evening! I had it with some toasted ciabatta and spread with almond butter and four fruit jam. I would guess that corn would be a nice addition, also. Thanks!
Maria says
I accidentally used thai curry paste instead of curry powder, so it had a very thai taste. It was still good. I added more coconut cream than the recipe calls for, and I didn’t have celery. I cooked this in an instant pot for 3 minutes with quick release. I added coconut cream after I cooked it so that it would not burn.
Kim Cunningham says
I’m not sure why, but perhaps the lentils were not the right type, but my soup came out looking green/yellow – not the beautiful orange in your pictures. The lentils were organic red lentils. I cooked some separately and they turned yellow. Can you please offer advice? Thank you.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Kim, we find that using a vegetable broth with tomato paste in it helps with the color. Hope that helps!
Mary says
The soup was delicious! Five stars! Thank you so much for this recipe. We added some baked tofu at the end for extra protein. This is a great dish and will be one of our staples. I made naan bread as well and it went together nicely with the soup.
Audrey says
Loved this soup with and without coconut milk. I didn’t purée all of the soup, I like to have chunks of veggies in my soup.

Great weeknight recipe. I used frozen cauliflower and the instant pot for a quick dinner. Threw in some spinach at the end. Thanks for another fantastic recipe!

Very yummy! I added an extra teaspoon of ginger and doubled the coconut cream. I served it with cilantro, a swirl of coconut milk, toasted pumpkin seeds and all my guests loved it.

Different but more important DELICIOUS!!!!!
Thanks, Mary!
Rachel says
This was yummy! I made it with almost twice the lentils, found it a little bland and ended up doubling the ginger, curry powder, salt, and coconut milk and adding a hit of Sriracha. It’s not a dinner party soup, it’s a winter sick day soup–warm, nourishing, and humble. I served it with cilantro and pepitas to dress it up a little. I would make this again for the right mood.

MMmm? Delicious and I too doubled the spices and salt. I also doubled the recipe to put away s batch.

Wow so delicious! But looking for advice…how do you make it super smooth and creamy with an immersion blender? Mine tasted amazing but the consistency was more like applesauce than what I see in these gorgeous photos. Should I have added more broth or coconut milk?

Hi Kristina, yes, adding more liquid will help! If too much liquid evaporates in the cooking process, that can contribute to the discrepancy.

Briana says
I am on a salt-restricted diet so used low salt veggie broth and just a pinch of salt. The soup is good and felt comforting on a cold Chicago New Years Eve but it needs more to replace the salt. I’m no cook but wondered if turmeric might make it more flavorful? What else? I will make again for sure.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Briana, it can be a little difficult to replicate the place of salt. But maybe more curry powder?
