Description
This Apple Potato Curry Winter Soup is a hearty, nourishing bowl of comfort. The sweetness of apples and maple syrup balances the earthy potatoes, carrots, and red lentils, while ginger, garlic, and mustard seeds give it a warming, subtly spiced flavor. Creamy, naturally thick, and packed with plant-based goodness, it’s perfect for chilly mornings, lunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients

3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger

5 cloves garlic, chopped

1 cup dry red lentils

1–2 cups vegetable stock (as needed)

In a large saucepan or skillet, sauté the ginger, garlic, onion, and mustard seeds for 3–5 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in enough vegetable stock to cover the vegetables and simmer until the potatoes, carrots, and lentils are tender.

Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth, adding additional stock or water as needed to reach a thick, soupy consistency.

Notes
Adjust the liquid to get the soup as thick or thin as you prefer.
Blend carefully in batches if your blender is small.
Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat or extra curry powder for a stronger spice profile.
This soup keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days and freezes beautifully.
