Method
- Peel and chop the onion and carrot. Core and chop the apple, leaving the skin on. Crush the garlic and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
- Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion and carrot with a pinch of salt for 6 minutes, then add the apple and cook for 3 minutes more.
- Stir in the garlic and curry powder for 1 minute.
- Add the lentils, with the stock cube crumbled into 700 ml of boiling water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the lentils have collapsed.
- Blend about half the soup with a stick blender, leaving some texture.
- Stir in the coconut milk, warm through and taste and season. Ladle into bowls.
Tip Leave the apple skin on, as it breaks down and adds colour. Stir the coconut milk in at the end so it stays creamy.
