This soup is delicious and satisfying. I always enjoy items with curry almost more the second day around as they've had time to sit in this blessed spice combination. 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 sweet onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 Tbsp minced ginger
• 1 Tbsp curry powder
• ¼ black pepper
• 2 red bell peppers
• 1 cup dried green lentils, soaked for 1 hr, rinsed, and drained
• 3 cups water
• 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
• ½ cup diced cilantro

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 4 minutes. 
2. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and pepper. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the bell peppers, lentils, water, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer, stirring only occasionally, until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
4. Stir in the cilantro, season to taste and serve.
