Jar Assembly Instructions:

  • To a 16 ounce mason jar, add lentils followed by the split peas and secure with a lid.
  • To a separate small 4 ounce mason jar, layer in the coconut milk powder and all the spices.
  • Store in the pantry for up to 2 years.

Cooking Instructions:

  • Optional but recommended*: Rinse red lentils and split peas with water in a colander. Saute shallot in 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over high heat for 3 minutes. Add in diced tomatoes and veggies, if using.
  • Add dry soup mix ingredients and broth to the same pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then, lower the heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils and split peas are tender.
  • Serve with naan bread and cilantro on top. It’s also delicious with a swirl of plain Greek yogurt or coconut cream on top.
  • Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
