Instructions

Step 1

Make the sofrito. You’ll start by cooking down the onion, green pepper, corriander and garlic. Once they’re tender, add in the sazon spices and crushed tomatoes. This is your sofrito!

Step 2

Add the lentils. Stir in the lentils and coconut milk (save a little coconut milk for the top!) and season the soup with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Simmer it together. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the soup until the lentils are soft. The soup will be nice and thick, but if it’s too thick for your liking simply add a little water.

Step 4

Garnish & serve. Once the soup is cooked to your liking, serve it with a little coconut milk on top and some fresh cilantro. Check out our fav sides below!
