I have been sitting on this recipe for way too long!  I actually made and photographed this Curried Lentil Quinoa Soup before the holidays.  But, then I got distracted with holiday recipes and then it was January and I was focusing on meal prep recipes, and then it just felt way too warm here to think about soup.

 

But, today is cold (65 degrees 🙂 ) and rainy and seems like the perfect time to share this delicious recipe with you!

I have to be honest, I’m not a huge soup person, gasp.  I’m learning to love it way more these days than I ever did as a child, but I still don’t eat it all the time.  I do, however, love soups that are thick, flavorful and filled with veggies and some type of bean.

These might fall more into the stew category? haha 🙂  Either way, this Curried Lentil Quinoa soup is most definitely a soup I could eat every week!  It’s hearty, filling and goes perfectly with fresh herbs and a side of crackers or toast.

I’m pretty sure I’ve gushed before about my love of curry powder, so I won’t bore you again, but I will say that a little dash of curry powder makes everything better!  It gives this soup so much great flavor and really goes well with the lentils and quinoa.  I hope you enjoy!

Description

A really flavorful and filling lentil soup!


Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cups diced carrots, about 2 large carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup uncooked lentils, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 5–6 cups vegetable broth, I like to use low sodium*

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat.  Add the olive oil, onion, carrots and celery and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
  2. Add in the garlic and fresh ginger and cook for another 2 minutes.  Add the remaining ingredients, stir until combined, cover with a lid and simmer soup until vegetables, lentils and quinoa are all cooked through, 30-40 minutes.
  3. Enjoy soup hot or refrigerate up to 4 days.

Notes

*I like my soups to be pretty thick, so feel free to add more broth if you prefer a thinner soup.

    I LOVE everything about this soup, especially the the ginger and curry and lentil quinoa combo. It’s right up my alley, as you can probably imagine. I’m curious though — do you think your lack of interest in soups is due to where you live, the hot climate?

      Thanks, Katie!! I’ve actually only lived in Arizona for a few years haha, but I think I didn’t like it as a kid because it just seemed watery and not filling. I guess I just wasn’t eating the right kind of soups ha! 🙂

    I’m thinking of adding a can of coconut milk with the broth. What do you think ?

      I think it would be delicious! I have a similar recipe that has coconut milk and sweet potatoes and it’s delicious! Here it is if you’re interested 🙂

    Looks delicious! How long do you think it would take to cook in a slow cooker?
    Just got one but haven’t tried it out yet :

      Hi Ashley, I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never actually used a slow cooker so I have no idea! I would suggest cooking it around the same time and temperature you cook other soups though, if that helps. Sorry!

    This recipe is amazing.
    I’m nor a fan of celery so swapped it for a red capsicum (pepper).
    Also double the garlic, ginger and onion as it is winter here in Australia and need to banish the flu.
