Ingredients
1 cup chopped onion1 large clove garlic, minced (3 tsp)1 large piece ginger, minced (3 tsp)1 cup chopped celery1 cup chopped carrots1 cup chopped potato1 bay leaf (1 tsp. gound bay leaf)2 tsp Madras Curry Powder1 tsp Cumin, ground1 tsp Coriander, ground1/2 tsp black pepperpinch dried red chili or 1 tsp chili powder1 cup Hunts Original Tomato Paste4 tsp. dry basmati or brown rice4 tsp. red lentils1 Tbsp lime juice6 cup water
Directions
Chop the vegetables and place in large pot with all the spices and tomato paste and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook until vegetables are half cooked (5 min). Add the rice and let boil for 10 minutes. Add lentils. When all are tender add the lime juice. To add protein to the soup - which should be thick and hearty - you can boil a boneless chicken breast in the water while cooking it all - then remove the breast after about 15 minutes and chop it finely and then return to the soup. Then figure the calories in that breast to add to this recipe. Makes 6 servings - hearty bowlfuls of about 1and 1/2 cup each.

    I added leftover turkey and turkey stock, and it was great! - 12/29/10

    I doubled the red lentils instead of adding rice, used garlic-ginger paste instead of shredding the whole spices, and tumeric as well as the cumin and coriander since I didn't have Madras curry powder. Definitely will make again. - 2/10/10
