Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I've been lurking here for quite a while now but having finally made the move to becoming vegan after 39 years as a vegetarian, I thought I'd post a recipe. This as a warm spicy soup which is great with naan bread. I adapted the recipe to fit my small crockpot - you may need to double the amounts. Christie Red Lentil and Carrot Soup with Coconut 200g (1 cup) red lentils, rinsed and drained 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 large carrot, halved lengthways and finely sliced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp crushed cumin seeds ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp crushed black pepper 1 can crushed tomatoes (390mls/14 oz) 750 mls (3 cups) vegetable stock 1 can coconut milk (390 mls/14 oz) 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 red chilli pepper, finely chopped To Serve: Finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) Gently sauté carrot and onion in olive oil, about 5 mins. Add garlic and spices and cook for 1 min, stirring. Add tomatoes and bring to the boil, then add lentils and stock. Pour into slow cooker, cook on Low for 8 – 10 hours, or High for 4 – 5 hours until carrots are tender. Stir in coconut milk, lemon juice and finely chopped chilli and cook on High for a further 20 – 30 mins. Serve topped with lemon slices and finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro).

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I bet this would be good with split peas too instead of lentils. , " christie_0131 " <christie0131 wrote: > > I've been lurking here for quite a while now but having finally made > the move to becoming vegan after 39 years as a vegetarian, I thought > I'd post a recipe.
