Red Lentil and Coconut Curry Soup

Gluten Free, Soup, Vegetarian1 Response »

If there ever was a week for a warm, soothing, cleansing sort of soup this would be it.

After all that Thanksgiving feasting my tummy needed soup.

You can make it spicy.

Or not.

I did, you know I can’t resist.

It can be low calorie.

Or not.

I did use Lite Coconut Milk.

It was already in my pantry.

And I like my skinny jeans.

When they fit.

You don’t even have to include the garbanzo beans if you don’t like them.

I did.

I love them.

Enjoy.
