Hello Everyone! :)

I was looking online for some new recipes to spice up my kitchen, and here’s one I found that’s got me drooling and dying for some lentil soup.  Here it is:

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 tablespoon mild Indian curry powder
• 400g can diced tomatoes
• 1 liter vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup dried green lentils, washed, drained
• 2 red capsicums, chopped
• 2 (230g) small eggplants, chopped
• plain yogurt and coriander leaves, for serving

Method

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add onion, garlic and celery. Saute for 5 minutes or until onion is soft. Add curry powder. Saute for 1 minute or until fragrant.

2. Add tomato, vegetable stock, 2 cups cold water and lentils. Cover. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes. Add capsicum and eggplant. Simmer, covered, for 40 minutes or until vegetables and lentils are tender. Season with pepper. Serve soup with yogurt and coriander.

yum yum! Enjoy and until next time, Namaste!
