Green Lentil Soup

While lentil soup is certainly a vegan staple, there are countless varieties that each have a unique blend of flavors.  This particular soup has a green curry base with garlic and ginger accents.  It is perfectly soothing served with a generous scoop of coconut yogurt on top.

The coconut milk or yogurt adds an unparalleled creaminess that counteracts the powerful spices; this creates a perfect balance of spice and richness.   As for the coconut haters out there, (how could you hate such a perfect food! )  you can use any alternative milk or yogurt, but if you aren’t allergic, I really recommend trying it as the coconut really adds the perfect touch to this soothing dish–it’s the “secret” ingredient that transforms the dish into something truly amazing.
