Curried Red Lentils

1 celery rib, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 c. red lentils
2 c. vegetable broth
1/2 can lite coconut milk
1.5-2 Tbsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. granulated garlic
pepper to taste

In a medium saucepan, saute celery, carrots, and onion. When they are softened, add red lentils. Cook for a few minutes before adding broth and water. Bring to a boil and add seasonings and coconut milk. Cook on medium-high heat until soup begins to thicken slightly then turn down and simmer until the lentils look slightly smooth and creamy. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking. Good served over brown rice too!
