CURRIED LENTIL SOUP WITH CARROTS
I love the spices in this. Just a little bit hot, with the flavor of curry that I love. It warms me up inside. I'm always watching my pepper plants which I brought indoors over the winter to see if they have a few peppers on them to put in something like this. My Thai dragon plants have been giving me peppers all along (with a little help!) When I run a little low, I like to visit the Asian grocer for a big pack of green chillis (which are almost just as good), but I like the red ones best.

Tips:
- Choose the right lentils. Brown lentils are the most common type of lentil used in soups, but you can also use green, red, or yellow lentils. Brown lentils hold their shape well, while green and red lentils break down more easily, creating a thicker soup.
- Rinse the lentils before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cook the lentils until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of lentils you are using. Brown lentils typically take about 20 minutes to cook, while green and red lentils take about 15 minutes.
- Add vegetables to the soup. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and garlic add flavor and nutrition to the soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, or peas.
- Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and curry powder are common seasonings used in lentil soup. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric.
- Serve the soup with a side of bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
