SPICY LENTIL VEGETABLE SOUP

SPICY LENTIL VEGETABLE SOUP

Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein and since they cook quickly, are the perfect choice for a busy, weeknight soup. Turmeric provides an anti-inflammatory boost while curry powder adds a spicy kick to this soup.

GLUTEN-FREE

Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon curry powder

1 cup green or brown lentils
4 cups vegetable stock

Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
