Yield serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ block of organic creamed coconut
1 cup organic red lentils
1 ½ litres of veggie stock
¼ of a pumpkin or sweet potato cut into cubes
2 red onions chopped
a large bunch of organic silver beet or baby spinach leaves
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger, or more
to taste
Celtic sea salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, dissolve the creamed coconut with some filtered water until melted. 2. Throw in the garlic, onions, pumpkin/sweet potato, and lentils with a pinch of Celtic sea salt and stir until coated. 3. Add in the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Simmer on a medium flame for about 40 minutes until the lentils are cooked through. The soup should be quite thick and the vegetables should have broken down. You could mash further with a stick blender, but it is often not necessary. Now stir through the greens, and squeeze in the desired amount of fresh grated ginger. Cook for a further 5 minutes until the greens are just wilted and cooked.

PUMPKIN AND LENTIL SOUP

I was clearing out all the supermarket recipe leaflets and cards and all the cut out recipes that kept piling up in my kitchen. I thought I'd post the ones that I liked the look and sound of here, to share and for future reference. This way you might find something you like and my kitchen gets decluttered! If you try it before me let me know what you think. This one is from the monthly Asda magazine. It's cheap to make and sounds delicious, I think. The weight of the pumpkin refers to it peeled and deseeded.
