Time for some lentil sprout recipes! Make your soups and broths alkaline and spicy and by adding sprouted lentils and turmeric to them! Some may not like cooking sprouted lentils since they are a superfood, but you can’t argue against topping off a nice bowl of soup with a healthy crunch!
For some anti-inflammatory spice, add turmeric to your soup. Although any spicy pepper will taste great.
“If your body is acidic, you are full of pathogens, toxins, and negative energies. The best way to alkalize your body is by purging toxins from your body and then nourishing it with alkaline foods.” – Zoli Hargitai
Fewer things in life are more healing than a home-made, love-infused bowl of soup. It’s nature’s most ancient and efficient way of bundling up the nutrients, enzymes, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals we need to heal if ill and remain healthy if well.
Here is an easy flavor-filling recipe for your kitchen skills:
Turmeric & Lentil Sprout Soup Recipe
(Vegan protein source + alkalizing food + reduces inflammation)
Time: 60 Minutes
Serves: 4 people
Soup Ingredients
200g Zucchini, roughly chopped
4 Carrots, roughly chopped
1 Sweet Red Potato, roughly chopped
4 Tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 Cloves Garlic
1tsp Mustard Seeds
1 Red Onion
350ml Vegetable Stock
200ml Coconut Cream
1 Handful of Fresh Coriander (Cilantro), roughly chopped
1 Inch Fresh Turmeric Root
1 Inch Fresh Ginger Root
1/2 Red Pepper (Bell Pepper)
1 Cup of Lentils (non-sprouted)
Coconut Oil
Energizing Toppings:
1/2 Cup Sprouted Lentils
1/2 Cup Cashews
2 Tbsp Pumpkin Seeds
1 Clove Garlic, minced
Optional spice: thinly sliced red chilli
Instructions
Chop the red onion, garlic, ginger (peeled) and turmeric (peeled) roughly.
Heat a little coconut oil in a cooking pot to get the onion started, and once it’s cooking a little, add the turmeric, ginger, mustard seeds and garlic – being careful not to burn the garlic.
Now add the earthy veggies (carrot, zucchini, sweet potato), the red pepper, and the tomatoes. Stir fry the colors and flavors (pause to stoop low and smell the delicious aromas!)
Pour in the stock and then add the lentils.
Turn the heat down to a simmer while the vegetables soften and the lentils cook.
Let cook for about 10-15 minutes until everything has softened, then add the coconut cream and chopped cilantro (coriander). Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
You can return everything to the pot and let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Now, for those toppings! Use the flat blade of a knife to smash the cashews roughly, and lightly fry with the pumpkin seeds and sprouted lentils in a little coconut oil with the minced garlic until it’s glistening and a little browned.
Serve the soup in bowls. Add some cilantro, drizzle some coconut cream, and cashews (with optional chili).
