Crock Pot Egyptian Lentil Soup

[Guest guest]

This one is easy and yummy. I made it yesterday and I thought I'd share it with

all of you. I used orange lentils which are smaller than regular brown lentils

and give the soup the nice orange color. They are a bit more expensive, but a

nice change. You could use regular lentils too.

 

Crock Pot Egyptian Lentil Soup

 

1 1/2 cups dry orange lentils (rinsed)

1 large onion, coarsely chopped

1 green pepper, coarsely chopped

2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped or 1 can of tomatoes, diced

4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped in half

1 veggie boullion cube

1/2 Tbsp ground cumin (or more if you love it like I do)

1 tsp chili powder (or more to taste)

5-6 cups of water

1 bayleaf

 

Mix all ingredients in your crockpot and place on high for 2-3 hours or set it

to

low and let it simmer all day. This keeps nicely for a few days in the fridge

and

makes a hearty lunch with some bread or rice.
