One huge bowl of soup along with baked pita bread or parmesan garlic croutons has never failed to fill up my stomach.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very healthy soup made with lentils and broccoli. To make it rich and creamy I added coconut milk, it&#8217;s absolutely dairy free and gluten free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broccoli Lentil Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red Lentil- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Broccoli florets- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Water- 3 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Ground cumin- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Chili powder or ground pepper- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Garam masala- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Coconut milk, low fat- 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li>Oregano, dried- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a pressure cooker or in a soup pot, combine red lentil, broccoli florets along with ground cumin, chili powder or ground pepper, garam masala and salt.<\/li>\n<li>Add water and cook over medium heat till 2 whistles or until they are cooked.<\/li>\n<li>Open the lid and let cool down for sometime.<\/li>\n<li>Puree the cooked lentils and broccoli in a blender or using an immersion blender<\/li>\n<li>Return to the pot, turn the heat to medium and add coconut milk.<\/li>\n<li>Add dried oregano and combine well.<\/li>\n<li>Taste and add more salt if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Let the soup come to a slight boil, remove from heat.<\/li>\n<li>Th constituency of this soup is thick.<\/li>\n<li>Serve warm or cold along with pita bread or croutons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Broccoli-lentil-soup.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Broccoli Lentil Soup in Coconut milk<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Red Lentil- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Broccoli florets- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 3 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground cumin- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder or ground pepper- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garam masala- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut milk, low fat- 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oregano, dried- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a pressure cooker or in a soup pot, combine red lentil, broccoli florets along with ground cumin, chili powder or ground pepper, garam masala and salt.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add water and cook over medium heat till 2 whistles or until they are cooked.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Open the lid and let cool down for sometime.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Puree the cooked lentils and broccoli in a blender or using an immersion blender<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Return to the pot, turn the heat to medium and add coconut milk.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add dried oregano and combine well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Taste and add more salt if needed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Let the soup come to a slight boil, remove from heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Th constituency of this soup is thick.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Serve warm or cold along with pita bread or croutons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.2.1682<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A healthy soup, for any day&#8230; Soup and Summer don&#8217;t get along well, really?
