CURRIED RED LENTIL SOUP WITH TOASTED COCONUT
Fresh ginger along with plenty of earthy spices like turmeric and coriander add complexity to this otherwise unassuming lentil soup. The dish is perfect for a weeknight as the legumes here cook fairly quickly. Pairing the lentils with bold, warming spices gives them a big boost of flavor in a short amount of time. To make the soup feel extra special, toast coconut flakes for a crunchy topping, and put out bowls of roughly chopped cilantro, thinly sliced scallions and lime wedges, so guests can top their soup as they please. If you're feeling ambitious, a topping of fried shallots seasoned with flaky salt would also be nice.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and the carrot, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook 1 minute more, adding a small drizzle of olive oil and lowering the heat if necessary to make sure they don't burn. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric and ground coriander and cook for about 30 seconds more until fragrant.
- Add the lentils and vegetable stock, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the lentils are soft and cooked through, about 30 minutes. If you prefer your soup looser, add in 1/2 to 1 cup more water and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until heated through.
- While the soup simmers, heat a medium skillet over low heat. Toast the coconut flakes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasonings. Serve in bowls and pass the coconut flakes at the table. If desired, serve with bowls of cilantro, scallions and lime wedges at the table.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
- Don't be afraid to add spices. Curry powder is a great starting point, but you can also add cumin, coriander, turmeric, or cayenne pepper to taste.
- Use vegetable broth instead of water. This will give your soup a richer flavor.
- Add some greens. Chopped kale, spinach, or collard greens are all great additions to lentil soup.
- Serve with a side of bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
