Although spring is near, we aren’t in the clear! This soup is simple and takes almost no time at all!!  4 main ingredients and a few spices!  Lentils are a packed with protein and fiber! When making soups I chose to use RED lentiles as they have the right texture for soup. They get nice and soft. So here’s to Lentils.

What You Need

• 2 cups red lentiles rinsed and looked over
• 4 celery stalks (chopped up)
• 4  med-large carrots ( chopped up)
• 1 big onion or 2 small ones diced up
• 4 cloves of garlic minced
• Curry poweder
• Cumin
• Chili flakes (if you like heat)
• Mustard Seeds
• Salt and Pepper to taste

What You Do

• In a large pot heat up some non virgin coconut oil ( can use which ever oil you like)
• Add the onions and fry till translucent ( add some salt during this time)
• Then add the carrots and celery
• Once the carrots and celery have soften  start adding some curry powder and spices
• Add garlic  once you smell the garlic you can add the 2 cups of rinsed lentiles
• Stir everything together and fill pot with water
• Bring soup to a boil and start adding your spices.
• Its difficult to tell you how much of each spice. (depends on the size of your pot)
• Experiment with the amounts
• Once soup has boiled bring to a simmer and let stand for at least one hour.

 FINITO STUFF YOUR FACE!
