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 the 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.
