Ingredients

    1.5lbs peeled, chopped carrots
    1.5lbs peeled, chopped yams
    1 medium peeled, chopped onion
    1c red lentils
    1L (4 cups) organic, low sodium, vegetable broth
    2tsp freshly grated ginger root
    2tsp ground curry powder

    1 14oz can organic, Light, coconut MILK

Tips

If you like texture bits in your soup, ladle out some of the lentils & vegetables before blending. Add them back in with the coconut milk.


Directions

Add everything but the coconut milk to the slow cooker in layers ~ onions, carrots, yams, lentils, ginger, curry powder, broth. Cover & cook on Low setting for 6-8hours.
Check the doneness of the lentils before proceeding further. When lentils are cooked, use a hand mixer/blender to puree ingredients, right in the slow cooker. When blended to the consistency you prefer (some like a bit of texture), add coconut milk & mix well. Turn slow cooker to Warm setting to allow the coconut milk to warm up & blend with all of the other flavours. Stir well & serve.
