What Goes in Golden Curry Lentil and Quinoa Soup

The base of the soup is made with (you guessed it) lentils and quinoa! I find the quinoa gives this soup more texture than just using lentils.

Then comes all the amazing flavour coming from aromatics like onions, garlic, ginger and of course- curry powder. I use a curry powder that lists turmeric as one of the first ingredients to truly get that ‘golden’ taste and look.

And to make it even more yum, we’re using some coconut milk because lets be honest… coconut milk makes any curry taste x10 better.

Oh, yes and a bit of frozen vegetables for #extrahealth.

Cook onions, garlic, ginger, curry paste and salt until aromatic.
Add in the vegetable broth, soy sauce quinoa and red lentils and simmer covered until cooked.
Stir in remaining coconut milk, frozen vegetables and broth.

I do like to add in a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of extra red pepper flakes for a kick.

Storing Lentil and Quinoa Soup

This soup is such a great meal to prep in the beginning of the week because it keeps well in the fridge for 5-6 days or you can freeze it!

How to Freeze Lentil and Quinoa Soup

Once it’s fully cooled down, portion the soup into freezer safe bags. When ready to eat, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. Pour it into a small pot over medium heat until warmed through.

In a pinch, you can take it out of the bag, let it thaw on the counter and microwave it until warmed.
