Copycat Amys Indian Golden Lentil Soup
Amys Indian Dal Golden Lentil soup is my favorite canned soup. Its super smooth, rich with protein from the lentils and peas, and has an amazing blend of Indian seasonings. I usually eat the entire can for dinner all by myself.
I once considered buying a case of it from Amazon, thinking I would feel better buying in bulk and cutting their almost $4/can price by a few dimes.
But I didnt.
I decided to make it myself!
I made a version of this soup earlier in the year that was really good but not exactly the same.
This latest version is spot on.
I used the ingredient list and order of ingredients to base my recipe. After the peas and lentils have cooked with the broth and seasonings, its just a matter of blending it to get the same texture as Amys soup.
Im so happy to have a solid option to turn to that saves money too!

This Coconut Curry Lentil Soup Is Versatile
The coconut milk makes the soup creamy and the diced tomatoes give it a bright orange color, however, theyre completely optional. As per my Easy Lemon Lentil Soup, you only really need 6 cups of vegetable broth per 1.5 cups of red lentils. So since this soup already contains 4 cups of vegetable broth, feel-free to replace either of those cans with an additional cup of veggie broth . So:
- Replacing the coconut milk with 1 cup of broth will result in a bright red soup with and a more pronounced tomato flavor
- Replacing the diced tomatoes with 1 cup of broth will result in a creamier soup with a stronger coconut flavor
- Replacing BOTH the coconut milk AND diced tomatoes with 2 cups of broth will result in a soup soup with a lighter consistency but more pronounced spices, because it wont have the coconut milk or tomatoes to temper them
Actually, if you make this Coconut Curry Lentil Soup as-is, its pretty much thick enough to be considered a traditional curry or Indian Dal. So you could toss more greens into it and serve it with some brown rice or quinoa for an even heartier meal. See, I told you this recipe was versatile

What Is Lentil Curry
There are various types of Lentil Curry such as Coconut Lentil Curry or Red Lentil Curry. Some curried lentils recipes use curry paste or tomatoes, while others use coconut milk.
This rich & hearty Instant Pot Lentil Curry is meant to be a super easy yet flavorful main vegetarian meal or side dish.
Youll enjoy the balanced savory-slight spicy-creamy-hearty flavors & textures filled with a delicious coconut aroma.
Whats awesome about cooking lentils in the Instant Pot is that its a very hands-off process to evenly cook lentils. The lentils will come out tender with chew and not mushy giving you a satisfying mouthfeel.
For this Instant Pot Lentil Curry Recipe, you can use Brown Whole Lentils or Green Whole Lentils. But if you use Red Lentils, they wont hold up as well & tend to disintegrate & get mushy when cooked through.
