Coconut Creamy Red Lentil Soup

This creamy soup is a perfect meal!

Ingredients:
16 oz of red lentils - soaked and rinsed
1 yam or sweet potato
5 cloves of garlic
2 large sweet yellow onions
1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
3 large leaves of kale - soaked and rinsed
2 large carrots
8 oz of cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 can of coconut cream or pure milk

Spice it up:
Add as much cayenne pepper as you can take.  It gives it that extra something. 

Instructions: 
1. Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and bring to a boil
2. Peel and chop the two onions into small pieces. Saute in a pan with a teaspoon of coconut oil until they start to brown. You want a mix of translucent and browning for optimum flavor. 
3.  While the onions start cooking, wash and slice the tomatoes. Stir them in with the onions
4. Peel and slice the garlic.  Toss into the water 
5. Wash and cut the yam / sweet potato into small chunks.  Toss into the water
6. Add the salt, coconut cream and chili flakes to the water 
7. Wash, peel and chop the carrots.  Place to the side.  You'll add them in 10 mins before the soup is done.  
8. Wash and cut the kale. Place in a large bowl filled with water to soak it.  This removes anti-nutrients and ensures there are no little buggies in the leaves. 
9. Once the water is boiling add the lentils to the pot and leave uncovered.  Lower to a low heat. Set a timer for 30 mins and stir every few minutes.
10. After 30 minutes add the carrots. Cook for another 10 Mins
11. Rinse the kale 
12. Serve the soup with a handful of kale on top of each bowl.

Enjoy!
