Servings: persons

2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 golden delicious apple, peeled and chopped
2 medium celery ribs, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon garam masala, divided
1 1/2 inches piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup light coconut milk
1 cup red lentil, rinsed in cold water
2 cups packed skinless cooked chicken, cut into 1/4 inch pieces (from a large rotisserie chicken)
1/2 cup cilantro leaf (optional)

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a fairly large pan, over high heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to about medium. Add 1 t garam masala and cook for about 1 minute. Then add the carrots, onion, apple and celery and cook, while stirring a bit, until the mixture has softened up, approximately 8 minutes.

Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, ginger and 1 t of the garam masala to the pan. Add the rinsed lentils and bring the soup to a boil (on high heat), then reduce the heat to low and simmer it for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. You just want to get the lentils nice and tender.
