Patti’s Curry Lentil Vegetable Soup

2 small sweet potatoes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
½ cup lentils
3 tbsp canola oil
3 tbsp red curry powder
1 ½ tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic salt
1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 32 ounce pkg of vegetable broth
3 large carrots (try Trader Joe’s multi-color carrots!), cut into chunks
1 small zucchini, quartered and cut into chunks
1 cup frozen peas
2/3 cup frozen roasted corn (Trader Joe’s…best corn ever!)
½ cup sugar snap peas

Microwave sweet potatoes for approx 5 minutes or until they are semi-soft. Set aside and let cool, then peel and cut into chunks.

Put oil, curry powder and chopped onion in a saucepan. Simmer 20-30 minutes or until onions are really soft.

Add 1 ½ cups of water, lentils, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until lentils are semi-soft and most of the water has been absorbed.

Add vegetable broth, garlic salt, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, parsley and carrots. Simmer until carrots are soft.

Add zucchini, snap peas and sweet potato. Cook until zucchini is soft, then add the roasted corn and peas.
