- 100 g. red split lentils
- 15 ml. oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- ½ tsp. chilli powder
- ½ tsp. grated root ginger
- ¼ tsp. grated nutmeg
- 1 tin coconut milk

Accompaniment
SponsoredFleurie Georges Duboeuf
The most favored of all the Beaujolais Cru, Fleurie enjoys a very floral bouquet with a refined, smooth taste. An elegant, beautifully made more-ish red with wild strawberry fruit and a fleshy texture.Buy this wine if you like: Light-bodied red with ripe fruit, perfect slightly chilled on a warm summer afternoon.

Heat oil in a saucepan, add onion, lentils, chilli, ginger and nutmeg, stir about until onions soften. Add stock and coconut milk, bring to boil, then lower to simmer for 40 mins or so. Stir once or twice, and check it doesn't get too thick, add more stock if ness.
Season and serve. A garnish of coriander leaves, or mint, and a teaspoon of thick plain yoghurt in centre of each bowl looks nice against this soup's golden colour.
Chef's Tips
I like plain / cheese scones with soups as a change from crusty bread.
