Curry Lentil Soup
This is a hearty, healthy soup that will feed a family! If you don’t have curry
powder on hand, you can make your own. Here’s a quick recipe (all spices
should be ground): 5 T. coriander, 2 T. cumin, 1 T. turmeric, 2 t. ginger, 2 t.
dry mustard, 2 t. fennel, 1 t. cinnamon, 1 t. cayenne pepper, ½ t. cardamom,
and ½ t. cloves). This mixture will keep for months in a sealed container.
2. T. olive oil
3 T. curry powder
1 medium onion, chopped
1 ½ t. salt
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
4 c. vegetable stock
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 c. water
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. dry lentils
1. In a large Dutch oven, pot, or electric skillet, heat the olive oil over
medium heat and brown the onion, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes.
2. Add the remaining ingredients, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and
simmer for 45 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
3. Serve as is, or use a blender to puree the soup. Top with a spoonful of
plain yogurt and chopped cilantro.
