Recipe of the week: Crock Pot Curry Lentil Soup

I recently tried out a new recipe in my crock pot. One more step to becoming a crock pot culinary master!

Curry Lentil Soup

4 cups hot water

1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)

3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

3 medium carrots, thinly sliced

1 large onion , chopped

1 celery ribs, chopped

1 cup dry lentils

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 bay leaves

4 teaspoons curry powder

1 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Stir and cook for 8 hours. Removes bay leaves before eating.

The curry is not very strong in this dish. But, it provides a nice contrast with the tomatoes. I recommend adding the salt. It's a bit bland without it.
