Although warmer weather promises to come over the horizon we’re usually not ready to switch to salads just yet.<\/p>\n
Warming food is definitely still on the menu and this is a healthy meal, full of flavour and simple to make. The addition of lime juice, lime zest and mint really brighten the soup making it exciting on the palate.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_2,1_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”-21px||||false|false” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Ingredients Heading” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”18px” header_3_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”20px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Place a large saucepan on the hob over a medium heat. Add the oil and when hot add in the onions, curry powder, garlic, ginger and cumin seeds and fry gently until the onions become soft for about 3 minutes.<\/p>\n
Add the lentils and stock and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat down and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Add the sultanas and cook for another 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Add the lime zest and juice and most of the mint (saving some for garnish) and stir in. Taste to check the seasoning and add pepper and salt if necessary. Depending on your stock you may not need to add any salt.<\/p>\n
Ladle into bowls and spoon a dollop of yogurt on to each and finish with a sprinkling of mint.<\/p>\n
Serve with warm naan<\/a> bread or chapattis<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Leftover-Lentil-Curry.jpg” alt=”Spiced Lentil Soup with Lime and Mint recipe 2 \u2013 The Artisan Food Trail” title_text=”Leftover Lentil Curry” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tips Text” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Arvo|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#853d01″ header_3_font_size=”17px” background_color=”rgba(112,191,227,0.27)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||||false|false” custom_padding=”13px|13px|13px|13px|false|false” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If making the soup for two, you could make the full amount and freeze what\u2019s left. The remaining soup can be used for the base of a curry, just add vegetables, such as aubergine, spinach, tomato or whatever you like. Simmer until the vegetables are soft, adding a little water if the sauce becomes too dry.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tips Text” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Arvo|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#853d01″ header_3_font_size=”17px” background_color=”rgba(112,191,227,0.27)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||||false|false” custom_padding=”13px|13px|13px|13px|false|false” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nTip<\/h3>\n
