Potato Lentil Curry Soup
 
2 t. olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1.5 c. red lentils, rinsed
2 medium potatoes, cubed
2 T. curry powder
3 c. veggie broth
1 can coconut milk
1.5 t. salt

In a medium stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat, then cook onion until translucent. Add lentils, potatoes and curry powder, and cook 1-2 minutes stirring often. Add veggie broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat, and cook (stirring occasionally) until potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork and lentils are soft but not mushy (note: add a little water during cooking process if too much broth evaporates and lentils begin sticking to bottom of pot). Add coconut milk and salt. Stir well and cook another 3-4 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasonings, adding more curry powder or salt as you like.

Enjoy!
