Vegan Lentil Soup

Vegan Lentil Soup

My go-to soup!

Skip to recipe.

This is honestly my favorite soup. It’s so nourishing and full of flavor. It’s also pretty simple to make, uses only one pot, and has very low-cost ingredients. Definitely recommend!

Ingredient details:

  • Lentils – I used uncooked brown lentils, but most colors will do depending on what you have available.
  • Coconut Milk – I used a 13.66oz can of full fat coconut milk. I definitely recommend the full fat so that the soup is extra creamy and thick!
  • Red Curry Paste – I use Thai Kitchen red curry paste. Some red curry pastes will come with animal ingredients so make sure to read the label.
  • Ginger – I used ground ginger spice, but you can also use your own fresh ginger instead. I would half the measurement if you are using fresh ginger since it has a much stronger flavor.
  • Liquid aminos – I like the flavor of liquid aminos in this soup. I’ve tried soy sauce or tamari as replacement and they are good, but liquid aminos taste the best in my opinion.
  • Red onion – I really like using red onion for this soup. You can also use white or yellow depending on what you have around.
  • Vegetable broth – I always get a low-sodium vegetable broth.
  • Optional: sriracha to give it some extra kick! So good!!
