Ingredients

    Dried lentils, 1 pound bag
    Choose the kind that does not require soaking.

    1 can Bush's navy beans
    1 can Bush's black beans
    2 cans chicken broth
    4 cups water
    1 cup baby carrots
    1 large sweet onion
    1 can diced tomatoes
    1 package of Hormel Slow Simmered Pork Roast au jus
    Juice of 1/2 a lemon
    Juice of about 30 grams fresh ginger root
    3/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 dried bay leaves
    1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions

Serving size = 1 cup

Add the chicken broth and water to a crock pot set to high temperature. Substitute 1 to 1.5 cups of the water with wine or broth, if desired.

Rinse and clean the lentils and add to the broth.
Rinse the navy beans and black beans, and add to the crock pot.

Dice the carrots and onion into 3/4-inch pieces, and add them to the pot.

Add the can of tomatoes, including the fluid

Cook the Hormel pork roast in the microwave according to the package directions. Shred the meat with a fork - remove any fat. Add the meat and fluid to the pot.

Peel the ginger root and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Juice the pieces of ginger root into the pot, using a garlic press. Throw the remaining solids away.

Crush 3 cloves of garlic with the press and add to the pot.

Remove the seeds from 1/2 a lemon and add the juice to the pot.

Add the remaining spices.

Cook until the lentils are tender, at least 2 hours.
The soup is much better if you can leave it cook for 3-4 hours, though.

Add water as necessary to replace anything lost to evaporation.

    Incredible!
    Delicious! I like how you can make it as spicy as you like. YOu can buy some garam masala instead of doing all the spices separately. - 1/28/10
