…. the more you eat, the  more you toot!

Technically a lentil isn’t a bean, it belongs in the legume family, but honestly it’s all the same to me. I have never really been a big fan of beans or lentils or anything along those lines. They typically end up being tasteless and squishy. Not a very pleasant combo. This lentil soup is something different though. It has a rich spiciness and hearty texture. The lentils keep you full for what seems like forever and anytime you eat veggies life just feels a little bit healthier. I pretty much just mashed this all together one night and it turned out great, so I thought I would share it with you guys.

Curried Lentil Soup

• 2 cups lentils, cooked
• 1 litre of chicken stock
• 1 large onion
• 2 carrots, diced
• 3 stalks of celery, chopped
• 1 tbsp curry
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Add your diced onion to a soup pot heated to medium hight heat and cook until the onions are soft. Add the carrot and celery to the mix and mix the ingredients. Add lentils back into the pot, then add spices. Stir until everything is covered in spice.  Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling return to a low simmer and cook until carrots have reached desired tenderness ( it took mine about 20 minutes).
