Winter Lentil Soup

Winter Lentil Soup

  1. Thinly cover the bottom of a skillet with the olive oil, medium heat. Once hot add carrots, onions, green pepper and celery. Stir, so that everyone gets in on the fun. Once the onions are translucent, remove the whole mix and put in the crock-pot.
  2. Add the lentils, garlic, ginger, broth, salt and pepper to the crock-pot.
  3. Cook on high for 5-6 hours.
  4. Eat and enjoy.

Winter Lentil Soup (crock-pot)

*1 large carrot thickly sliced

½ cup chopped sweet yellow onion

2 stalks of celery, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

*2 cloves garlic, crushed

½ inch slice of fresh ginger root, finely chopped or crushed

*2 cups dry lentils

*4 cups chicken broth

2 cups filtered water

½ tablespoon fresh ground pepper

Sea salt to taste

(* indicates organic ingredients used)

This is good for me because Lentils are high in:

Iron – carries oxygen in the body boosting immunity and energy

Folate- critical in the production of cells & maintenance of new cells

Fiber- binds cholesterol in the colon causing it to exit the body, in addition to increasing bulk for the elimination of toxins.
