Red Lentil and Carrot Soup with Coconut

A hearty and healthy soup made with red lentils, carrots, and coconut milk. It's vegan, gluten-free, and incredibly delicious.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the red lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and puree it that way.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with cilantro.
