Warm whole-wheat pita does such a good job sopping up this creamy soup, you might not need to wash any spoons.
Ingredients
1 tbsp canola oil
2 onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp mild curry powder
1 1/2 cups red lentils
1 400-mL can light coconut milk
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
Boil 5 cups of water in a kettle.
