Red Lentil and Carrot Coconut Soup [vegan] by The Flexitarian

This Red Lentils and Carrots Coconut Soup makes a lovely warming meal on a cold day. I love its orange glow and the soft, smooth creaminess of coconut milk.

Red lentils are very fast cooking. They are also a good source of proteins and antioxidants, making this soup a quick & super healthy meal.

    This soup is so delicious. I feel like I’m eating something really healthy and hearty. It’s absolutely delicious and good for my waistline too. Oh and the quantity, makes so many portions and freezes well. Thank you ????
