Spicy Red Lentils Soup

Another day of bad weather, another soup to warm me up;) For the Spicy Red Lentil Soup you need (for 2):
- coconut grease or olive oil
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 t chili powder or flakes
- 1 t lemon grass (if you have fresh, even better)
- 100 g red lentils
- 1 t ground coriander
- 1 t paprika
- 200 ml coconut milk
- juice of one lemon
- salt & pepper

1) Heat the grease or oil. Add the onion, garlic, chili and lemon grass. Saute for some minutes until the onion is softened. Stir occasionally.
2) Add the lentils, coriander and paprika. Stir for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and water (or vegetable stock). Bring to boil, reduce the heat and cook until the lentils are soft.
3) Blend the soup. Add the lemon juice. Garnish with leek, coriander and black sesame.
