Instructions
- Add the garlic, carrots, red onion, stock, lentils, curry powder, garam masala, smoked paprika, turmeric, chili flakes, and bay leaves to the bowl of a 4-quart or 6-quart slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until the lentils are tender.
- Stir in the coconut milk, kale, and lime juice until combined. Let the kale wilt for 5-10 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference. (Start with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.)
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped cilantro or Thai basil, toasted coconut flakes, and extra lime wedges.
Notes
- Coconut Milk: Full-fat coconut milk adds richness to the soup. You can substitute light coconut milk for a lighter version.
- Kale: Kale adds a slightly firmer texture than spinach, but feel free to use baby spinach if preferred.
- Spices: For a mild flavor, reduce the chili flakes and adjust the curry powder to taste.
