How To Make It
Heat oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add onion, carrots, celery and potatoes and cook for 8-12 minutes until vegetables are starting to soften and become golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Stir in garlic and all spices and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Stir in lentils and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over high heat, turn to medium low and keep at a simmer, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes, until the lentils are tender and the soup has thickened.
Stir in the coconut milk and cook for 5 more minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the kale just before serving.
Serve topped with fresh parsley and chili flakes if desired.
