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.
