Slow Cooker Red Lentil, Curry, and Carrot Stew
From: Kristen @ www.slenderkitchen.com/
Lately I have been trying to incorporate more vegetarian and vegan meals into our rotation. The problem? I live with a hardcore meat eater. Vegetarian meals – even bulked up with pasta or grains – usually get a sideways stare and slew of questions about whether or not, this is all we are eating?
Surprisingly this simple meal passed the test recently. I was shocked. It was just soup, salad, and bread. However since this soup is incredibly hearty, it makes a delicious meatless meal that even your most dedicated meat eater just might enjoy.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
2 cups red lentils
2 large carrots, diced
7 cups water or vegetable broth
2 tbsp. grated ginger
1/2 onion, chopped
2 tbsp. curry powder
1/3 cup tomato paste
14 oz. light coconut milk
1-2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. coriander
Optional: 1-2 diced jalapenos
Instructions
Stir together everything in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6 hours or until lentils are fully cooked.
This soup can be blended for a smooth version.
Consider topping with yogurt, cilantro, jalapenos, or diced red peppers.
