Ingredients

1 cup uncooked red lentils, rinsed
3 cups low sodium or no-salt-added vegetable broth (plus more for sauteing vegetables)
1 cup light coconut milk (creamed coconut, not the beverage, see note)
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's Passion Fruit Vinegar or other fruity vinegar
1/2 cup sliced leeks
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Instructions:

Place the red lentils and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, uncovered. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Add the coconut milk and vinegar. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the leeks and carrots. Cook and stir for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, adding a little more broth as needed to prevent sticking.

Add the sauteed vegetables, dried oregano, onion powder and garlic powder to the red lentils. Cook over medium-low heat for an additional 15 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Note: To make your own creamed coconut, blend 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup water in a high-powered blender until smooth.

4.5 stars! What a lovely soup! The Passion Fruit Vinegar goes really well with the carrots, coconut and red lentils. I'm looking forward (as w/most DF recipes) ... to have more in a few days. I also appreciated that this was so easy to prepare! THANK YOU!
Update 8/13: A few days later, more Passion Fruit flavor which I really like - it's unique. Also the texture of this soup is somewhat like a buttery corn chowder! Very good!
