This curried lentil soup is a deliciously warming and comforting soup that is perfect for those colder days. Although soup is typically a popular lunch, this recipe is thick and filling which means it is also ideal for a quick and convenient evening meal. Paired with a few slices of thick crusty bread this would make a really hearty dinner recipe.

This is a really rich and creamy recipe despite it consisting of mostly lentils and tomatoes. It is a hearty yet healthy recipe and the warm flavours will just feel like a hug from the inside out. Although this is a soup, it does remind me a little bit of a dahl so if you are a fan of that then the chances are you will love this recipe.

This recipe will create a version that is gently spiced and flavourful rather than anything too overpowering as I want this to be a recipe that everyone can enjoy. However, if you do prefer your food to be a little bit spicier then you can always just increase the amount of curry powder and chilli powder used in this recipe

I like to serve this curried lentil soup topped with a little extra drizzle of coconut milk and plenty of fresh chopped coriander and parsley. If you like this recipe, you may also like my Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup which can be found here.
