Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 16 ounce dried lentils
  • 1 cup diced sweet onion
  • 4 carrots chopped
  • 4 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 0.25 cup tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 7 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 0.75 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Slow cook your soup. Stir everything until well combined, then cover. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. Alternatively, if you can also cook this dish on high for 4-6 hours. When the cook time is done, remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme stems.
  2. Garnish and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, this reheats great for lunches.

Notes

For a richer flavor, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery before adding them to the slow cooker.
