We've given a classic vegetarian soup a fragrant twist with a subtle hint of spice. Swap the yoghurt for a dairy-free alternative to make this vegan.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole over a medium heat. Cook the onion and celery with a pinch of salt for 8-10 mins until softened. Add the garlic, ginger and all the ground spices and cook for 1 min more. Stir in the carrots, lentils, coconut milk, stock and curry leaves. Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook gently for 30 mins.

Step 2

Taste the soup for seasoning, then add most of the fresh coriander and blitz until smooth using a hand blender. Ladle the soup into bowls, then top with swirls of yoghurt, the remaining coriander, some extra chilli flakes and a drizzle of olive oil to serve.
