Vegan Curried Cauliflower Sweet Potato And Lentil Soup Recipes

SWEET POTATO & CAULIFLOWER LENTIL BOWL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potato and cauliflower with the garam masala, half the oil and some seasoning. Spread out on a large roasting tray. Add the garlic and roast for 30-35 mins until cooked.
• Meanwhile, put the lentils in a saucepan with 400ml cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-25 mins until the lentils are cooked but still have some bite. Drain.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the tray and squish them with the blade of your knife. Put the garlic in a large bowl with the remaining oil, ginger, mustard, a pinch of sugar and one-third of the lime juice. Whisk, then tip in the warm lentils, stir and season to taste. Coarsely grate the carrots, shred the cabbage and roughly chop the coriander. Squeeze over the remaining lime juice and season to taste.
• Divide the lentil mixture between four bowls (or four containers if saving and chilling). Top each serving with a quarter of the carrot slaw and a quarter of the sweet potato and cauliflower mix.

CURRIED RED LENTIL SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a few pinches of salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, garlic, ginger, and sweet potatoes and stir. Add the curry, cardamom, and another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir again and cook until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the lentils and broth. Reduce heat and simmer until the carrots and sweet potatoes are soft, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender (or a potato masher) to coarsely blend the stew. Add the green beans, peas, and spinach and cook for another few minutes. Add the lime juice, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more spice, lime, and salt and pepper to balance the flavors to your liking.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro, if using, and serve with lime wedges. If desired, combine all yogurt sauce ingredients and serve on the side.

30-MINUTE POTATO CAULIFLOWER RED LENTIL CURRY

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add lentils, bring back to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 7-10 minutes or until just tender. You want them to be cooked through but not mushy. Drain well and set aside.
• In the meantime, heat a large rimmed skillet or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add oil (or water), mustard seed, cumin seed, coriander seed, and cardamom pods. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant and popping (stirring occasionally).
• Add shallot, ginger, and serrano pepper and stir. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The shallot should be soft and translucent. Then add garlic and stir once more.
• Add cauliflower, red bell pepper, potato, curry powder, and salt and stir. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• If grating your tomatoes, do so and add to the pan now. If using diced canned tomatoes, I recommend giving them a quick blend in a food processor or small blender to create more of a purée. Once tomatoes have been added to the pan, also add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
• Add cooked drained lentils, coconut aminos, maple syrup, and coconut milk and stir. Bring back to a simmer and cook for a few minutes to let the flavors meld. You can simmer this for up to 15 minutes, but it's not necessary.
• Taste and adjust flavors as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, curry powder to intensify the curry flavor, salt to taste, or coconut aminos for saltiness / depth of flavor. We added a bit more of each.
• To serve, divide between serving bowls and enjoy as is or with a side of naan, rice, steamed greens, or quinoa (optional). Fresh lime juice and cilantro make lovely additions as well (optional). NOTE: Be careful not to eat the cardamom seeds as they can have quite a kick!
• Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan. Add more vegetable broth or coconut milk as needed to rehydrate.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Add the cauliflower, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and broth to the slow cooker. Set to low and let cook for 6 hours. (If you are in a rush, set to high and cook for 3 1/2 - 4 hours or until vegetables are soft)
• Once cooked, puree with an immersion blender until the soup is smooth.
• Add in the coconut milk, 1 tsp of curry, and the cumin. Blend again making sure that all spices are incorporated. If you'd like, add more curry to taste. Season with salt, to taste.
• Allow the blended soup to cook on low for another 30 minutes.
• If using coconut milk for garnish, drop a tablespoon of coconut milk in the center of each bowl of soup.

LENTIL SWEET POTATO CHILI

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Mix well.
• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4.5 hours
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. More chili powder can be added if you'd like. Give it a taste test and if you find it can use some more, go ahead and add, 1 teaspoon at a time.
• Use just 3 cups of broth instead of 3 ½
• Add all ingredients to pressure cooker. Mix well.
• Place and lock lid onto the pot and close the pressure release valve. Set to pressure cook for 10 minutes. Pot will take roughly 30 minutes to come to pressure.
• When the pressure cooking time has ended, press cancel and allow the pot to natural release for 15 minutes. Once the 15 minutes has passed, carefully open the pressure release valve to quick release the rest of the pressure.
• Once pressure has been released and the float valve pin has dropped, slowly unlock and remove the lid.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. More chili powder can be added if you'd like. Give it a taste test and if you find it can use some more, go ahead and add, 1 tsp at a time.
