It seems like there’s a storm every weekend in Ireland at the minute. Stuck indoors again it’s an opportunity to make some soup. This is the soup we made for Storm Jorge.
Curried squash, lentil & coconut soup – serves 6
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
- 200g carrots, diced
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 100g red lentils
- 700ml veg stock
- a tin of reduced-fat coconut milk
- coriander and naan bread, to serve
Heat the oil in a large pot, then add the squash and carrots and toss around for a minute before stirring in the curry powder and cooking for a minute more. Add the lentils, the vegetable stock, coconut milk and some seasoning, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Blitz the soup with a hand blender or food processor. Check the seasoning and serve with the coriander over the top and some naan bread on the side.
