This is what I cooked yesterday. I combined 3 recipes and this is as close as I can get. Its not so easy to write up a recipe as I dont measure what Im adding. This got rave reviews and Im looking forward to making it again. It seems like a lot of ingredients but it was easy to make. Coconut Curried Red Lentil Soup with Baby Kale The red palm oil and red lentils give this soup a beautiful orange color and the coconut flavor is delicious!
