Curried Lentil Soup with Coconut - Crock Pot

 


This tasty soup could not be easier!  Literally dump it in a crock pot and cook until lentils are tender.

Ingredients

8 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 onion, diced
3/4 cup red lentils
3/4 cup brown lentils
1/4 cup jasmine rice
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1 bay leaf
1 1/4 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp coriander  
1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes

If you're rushed, or just feeling lazy (like I often am when it comes to cooking), dump all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high 3 1/2 - 4 hours.  

If you've got a bit more time or enthusiasm, saute onion in butter until soft; add all spices and continue sauteing for another minute before adding to crock pot with other ingredients.
