Read MoreCurried Red Lentil Coconut Soup
I fully plan to have a pot of this warming soup in my fridge all season long. You’ve got the usual soup suspects in the form of lentils, peppers, and onion, but then there’s a hint of cinnamon, warmth from the jalapeno and ginger, and the smooth creaminess from the coconut milk.. It has dimension…

I have been indulging in this dish the last couple days! It’s so fresh and good. A few quick things about this recipe. First, it couldn’t be easier.
