Loved this.. just had the last bit of this for dinner. My only change was the barley.. mine was not the quick cooking kind so I just made it separately and added a scoop. Will make this again.. the coconut milk in this is delicious

This was awesome! Here are some changes I made: I used low sodium chicken broth instead of plain water, and cut out the added salt. I subbed another cup of broccoli florets in the final 5 minutes of simmering, instead of the lentils. I didn't use celery, either. I sauteed the onion and garlic in 1T of OO before adding everything else. The coconut milk really adds a nice smoothness to this soup. I try and make a different soup every week during the winter, and this one is already one of my favorites!
