Creamy Broccoli Lentil Soup Recipe with Video

May 11, 2017 By Radhika 2 Comments

creamy broccoli lentil soup recipe
Creamy Broccoli Lentil Soup with a video. I prefer to call it desi broccoli soup as it is spiced up with Indian flavors that’s quite filling and makes a wholesome meal when served with a crusty bread.

This creamy broccoli lentil soup is vegan, gluten free, low carb and full of fibre that is nutrient packed. No potato or white sauce is added to make it creamy.

I’ve never been that keen on soups as a standalone meal but off late I’ve started loving it as a part of my clean eating plan.

They are so versatile and keep playing with the flavors to suit your taste buds. Even in this soup you can add other vegetables like green peppers, carrots, peas and pumpkin.

And it really surprised me when my children loved it too when I served with a boule that I made using the sourdough starter.

Some croutons or even this Garlic Pull Apart Rolls will go really well with this soup. I’ve started to a make a whole pot of it and keep it refrigerated and eat it for dinner.

You can also add coconut milk to make it even more flavourful but its good if you are going to finish off the entire soup in one sitting.

I did not like the taste of the refrigerated soup to which coconut milk was added. So instead I added in coconut oil at the last to the soup to lock in the flavor.

If you do not have curry powder, you can skip adding it, leave out water and use vegetable broth instead which will add in the much need flavor.

    I just bought some lentils, and I think this would be the perfect use for them.
