Curried Lentil & Sweet Potato Soup
I made up this recipe as I had most of the ingredients on hand and was really happy with how it turned out. It's thick & hearty and I really enjoyed the flavours. Perfect to freeze for another meal and it's only 280 calories per serve.
Ingredients (serves 6)
olive oil spray
1 brown onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 tin light coconut cream
800g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 tins lentils, rinsed and drained
a squeeze of lime juice
Method
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and spray with olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes, until softened. Add curry paste and cook for a further minute.
Add the coconut cream, then fill the empty tin with water and add that (you can add 2 tins of water if you prefer your soup a little thinner). Add sweet potato and lentils and bring to the boil. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
Blend soup, add lime juice and salt & pepper to taste.
Delicious served with a couple of pappadums!
