Curried Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup
- Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
3 medium carrots2 medium sweet potatoes1 large onion2 cups chicken stock or Vegetable Stock1.5 tbs tomato paste2 tbs curry powdersalt, pepper, butter, yogurt (optional)
Heat about a 1/4-1/2” piece of butter in the pot you’re going to cook in. This is the only pot you’re going to use. When the butter starts to bubble a bit, add the onions and cook till they’re becoming translucent, about 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Add the carrots and sweet potatoes and salt and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Add the veggie or chicken broth with an additional 6 cups of water. Bring the entire pot to a boil - when there’s big bubbles on the surface and it’s movin’ around, pour in the lentils. This is called a rolling boil.
Let everything cook for 15 minutes. You don’t have to stir it, just forget about it for 15 minutes. I like to set the timer on my microwave or phone to tell me when 15 minutes has been up so I don’t forget.
Add tomato paste and curry powder and stir it. Let it cook again for about 20-30 minutes. 20 minutes is usually good enough for me, but if you have big potato chunks or big lentils it might take a bit longer. Add pepper to taste. Serve with a big dollop of greek yogurt.
