Coconut Milk & Green Lentil Soup

January 17, 2013 By Courtney West 1 Comment

I like soup.  And I like you.  So here’s some soup!  (no, that was not an attempt at a Valentine’s poem…)I used to kind of hate soup.  I thought it was abysmal, boring, and tasteless.  But then I had an epiphany and starting making my own soup to cater to my tastes.  It was such a simple solution.  Now, I tend to make soup at least once a week in the winter because it’s comforting and a whole pot will give me around four to six meals.  You could even double (or triple!) the recipe and freeze leftovers to make it easier on yourself later on down the road.

I’ll admit that this soup’s humble appearance won’t be winning any beauty contests, but it will more than make up for it in taste.  Plus, it’s nice to have some humble looking food every now and then.  Ever heard of humble pie? (HAHA!).  On an unrelated note, I just realized there’s an inverted camera-wielding Courtney staring at you from the spoon in the last photo.  Oops.  Happy soup-making!

Curried Lentil & Sweet Potato Soup

September 20, 2012 By Courtney West Leave a Comment

I didn’t intend to share this recipe with you.  It wasn’t on my list of things to try for the blog.  It was actually just the dinner I made on a rainy Sunday evening.  But, seeing as it turned out really well, I snapped a few pictures and here we are.If you know me well, you know that I am not the biggest fan of soup.  I don’t really like the thin brothy ones that I have to try to slurp from a spoon, but only end up splashing everywhere.  I also tend to get bored while eating them, wishing I had something to chomp on every now and then.  And, I abhor any kind of store-bought soup.  So, that leaves me with making my own every now and then.  I like substantial soups that tend to be a bit chunky.  I want to be able to chew a bite every now and then instead of just swallowing my entire meal.  I had been planning on making a curried sweet potato and coconut milk soup for some time, but was waiting for the temperatures to drop a bit.  This past weekend, we got a cool front and quite a bit of rain so it was perfect soup weather.  I remembered seeing a smoky red lentil soup in Sara & Hugh’s new cookbook, so I decided to sort of merge the two based on what I had.

This is probably one of my favorite soups to date.  It’s slightly sweet from the coconut milk and sweet potatoes with a nice bit of heat from the curry powder and paprika.  I left it a bit chunky so that there are nice veggie bits to chew.  And, I would seriously consider the garnishes I list below because they take the soup to the next level as well as rounding out the flavors.

On a completely different note, I have something in the works for Sweet Miscellany that will be taking a lot of my time in the near future.  I’ll share the news here as soon as I can.  I hope to still have time to post a recipe here at least once a week, but I will go ahead and apologize now if I fall behind.
