Ingredients

    1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
    2 medium onions, chopped
    2 large carrots, chopped
    3 large stalks celery, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    4 tsp curry powder
    1 16-oz package dried lentils
    9 cups (or more) low-salt chicken or vegetable broth

Directions

This is a very easy recipe to make, if you can chop the vegetables with a food processor (or buy them already chopped.)

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and garlic; saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add curry, then lentils, and stir 2 minutes. Add 9 cups broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, adding more broth if soup is too thick and stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

I like this recipe served over white or brown rice.
