Warming, delicious Curried Yam and Lentil Soup (Gluten-Free, Vegan) |
This soup was not actually demo'd in any of our cooking classes, but my good friend Mary Lou Johnson made it for a recent Church potluck and I feel that the recipe deserves to be on our website. It's a 'brothy' curry soup, meaning that it isn't whirred up with a blender. The flavours meld together so nicely, it was perfect during a time of joyful fellowship on a cool rainy day, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too if you try it!

- 2 T. Coconut Oil
- 1 medium Onion, roughly chopped
