Ingredienser
  

  • 6 cups homemade chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dried red lentils, rinsed
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Stir in the curry powder and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until the spices smell fragrant.
  • Add the chicken breasts and homemade chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside. Add the rinsed red lentils and cauliflower florets to the broth. Simmer for 15 minutes until the lentils are tender.
  • Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with chopped fresh cilantro.

merknader

Simmer the lentils just until they start to break down for a thicker broth without becoming mushy. If the soup thickens too much after sitting, stir in a splash of extra broth when reheating. The cilantro adds a fresh note that balances the warm spices, so add it right before serving rather than during cooking.
