Just realized I made this with a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes instead of the 13.5 ounce I was supposed to use for this recipe! Anything I can do to offset that? Just made the tomato soup and the bolognese and was so used to using the larger tomato cans!! Oops!!!!
Hi There! I just became a subscriber after a bag of red lentils stared at me from the pantry (no idea who bought it, but here we are). I only got a chance to go to Trader Joe’s and couldn’t find a lot of the individual ingredients (fish sauce, red curry paste) but I found this “Thai Red Curry Sauce” — how could I use that and still make it a soup? I’m guessing just add the veggie stock and maybe some more coconut milk? Thanks for your help!
TJ's is so bad for ingredient shopping! Always have to go elsewere for things like that.
That curry sauce is great.... Add it plus the stock to the pot. I'm afraid if you add another can of coconut milk it won't be flavorful enough. So start with just that plus stock and add the coconut milk if you need more liquid.
Thank you so much for your quick response! I’m loving your podcast too! And I have a suggestion for a future episode: “How to make/keep friends as an adult” similar to y’all, my husband and I have moved a lot which has been great but it’s also made it very difficult to make new friends and stay connected to old friends. Would love to hear your tips!
isn't that so cool. you made a totally different soup, and yet, the same soup! i love hearing how people use the subs and additions and riffs to make it a totally new beast!
This was so incredibly delicious and all 3 of my kids, including 2 toddlers, loved it! Swapped out fresh ginger and cilantro for ginger paste and cilantro stir in paste, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. So easy and yummy!
This was so so good! My family/neighbors have dubbed me salad lady after all the salads I make of yours but I think this stew may be the winner. Also - if you are going to TJ's anyway for the mirepoix, recommend the frozen garlic naan to serve on the side. Thank you!
Reviews from my household - husband: "this is the best f**king thing you've ever made", one year old: ate an adult sized portion with her hands, three year old: "I don't like lentils. I don't like soup. Why is it orange?" So two out of three is pretty good!
Just tried to make in the instant pot and it kept burning so had to take out and put into a pot. Still delicious but wouldn’t try this in an instant pot again.
This was just perfect. Added flatbread on the side and a ton of baby spinach that basically melted into it. Will freeze a few bags for easy lunches or dinners. Thank you SO much, Caroline.
Oh man sending you a huge internet hug and an affirmation that you are crushing it and your baby is in great hands while you're at work and that nothing about your relationship is going to change etc etc etc all the things XO
But my husband hates coconut and cilantro and I LOVE those two things so I will be halving this when I make it next week as he’ll be on a business trip 😄

allll good. maybe a bit more fish sauce to season the extra tomatoes.
Thank you! Phewww!!! This is why you are the best!! My husband just walked in and said it smells soooo great in here!
I just did the same thing!! 😬
no prob!! it's going to be delicious!!
Hi! I can’t find red lentils at the grocery store. I’m wondering if it’s Better to use regular lentils or red beans/kidney beans? Thank you!
Regular lentils or go the chickpea version!!
Thank you! I’ll be catching up on the New Heights podcast while I make it 😂
do we think that making my podcast release day the same as New Heights was the worst decision i will ever make as a businesswoman
I was already caught up on so into that!
New subscriber! Accidentally bought 2 things of mirepoix at TJs. Any other WTC recipes you’d recommend to use up?
Good soup!!
Healthyish bolognese!!

All hail soup season! I made all the substitutions--used white beans, added chicken AND a bunch of kale. Perfect.
isn't that so cool. you made a totally different soup, and yet, the same soup! i love hearing how people use the subs and additions and riffs to make it a totally new beast!
just became a subscriber for this recipe and was pleased to find out i have most items already! Also appreciate all the substitutions. Thanks Caro!
love when that happens!!!! welcome to WTC, so happy you're here!!! xoxo
Could I use chicken breast instead of tenders - and cut into small pieces before cooking? Would the timing and process still be the same for cooking?
yes! just cut the chicken into 4 or 5 pieces xx
Thank you!!
This was so incredibly delicious and all 3 of my kids, including 2 toddlers, loved it! Swapped out fresh ginger and cilantro for ginger paste and cilantro stir in paste, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. So easy and yummy!
I love how much the toddlers are digging this one!!!
Toddlers see me preparing it and vowed not to try it 🤦🏻♀️ more for my husband and me! Maybe the youngest 19mo will try!
So good, thanks Caroline! 2nd time making I only used about 1 can of coconut milk and it was still really good, a bit thicker too.
Thanks for posting this! I accidentally only bought one can and just realized in the middle of cooking the recipe!

That is so weird! Like once it was sealed it was burning?
I had the same problem ! It never really sealed then got burn noticed I just turned on sauté but will next time do in stove
I *think* the curry paste burned on the bottom when mixed with the vegetables and the instant pot kept detecting the burned stuff.
This was just perfect. Added flatbread on the side and a ton of baby spinach that basically melted into it. Will freeze a few bags for easy lunches or dinners. Thank you SO much, Caroline.
YES lovely YUMMM
Another winner and perfect for my first day back at work after maternity leave. Was definitely in need of comfort food ❤️

Would love an instant pot adaptation!
Sauté as written, instantpot on high pressure for 7 minutes, let it naturally release!
But my husband hates coconut and cilantro and I LOVE those two things so I will be halving this when I make it next week as he’ll be on a business trip 😄
Make the whole thing and freeze it in individual portions in quart ziplocs for a quick healthy lunch whenever you need it all winter!
Doing this today in the slow cooker!! So stoked!
