Soup day! I haven’t made lentil soup before, but I’m running pretty low on funds and the ingredients are not expensive. Also, lentil soup is really good for you! To get started I made a curry lentil rendition of the soup.  It was very flavorful. I cooked all the vegetables together then added seasonings. I then mixed the lentils uncooked with chicken stock and allowed this to cook and soften in the broth with all the other flavors. The only change I would make next time I make lentil soup is to add a little tomato paste for more of that sort of flavor. I made such a huge quantity of this soup that this is pretty much all I will be eating for the next four days…
Ingredients
onion
carrots
celery
chopped tomato
curry powder
chili powder
salt and pepper
lentils
chicken stock
dash of red wine
