Coconut-curry lentil soup

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

We start the soup by toasting warm spices - cumin, coriander, turmeric and nutmeg - and frying them with a paste of garlic, ginger and onion.

We then add tomatoes, lentils, miso paste, coconut cream and water and simmer till the lentils have collapsed into a puree. Just before dishing up, we stir in chopped kale, just to wilt it, and a scattering of fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon to balance.

Defrost information: defrost overnight in the fridge. For a quick defrost, place in a sink of warm water and ensure that the defrosted dish then reaches 70C (piping hot) within two hours of beginning the defrosting process.
