Moroccan Sweet Potato Lentil Soup

Moroccan Sweet Potato Lentil Soup

2 sweet potatoes diced

2 large carrots diced

1 large onion diced

1 c diced celery

2 c lentils

1/4 c lemon juice

1 red bell pepper diced

1/2 c chopped cilantro

1 tsp coriander

3 cloves minced garlic

2 tsp minced ginger

1 jar of my home canned tomatoes (you could use canned tomatoes from the store)

8 c vegetable broth

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp curry powder

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp pink salt

1 tsp turmeric

2 tsp cumin

I put it all in the crock pot on low all day.  At the end of the day the soup was done and I didn’t have worry about making dinner on a day I worked late.  I was able to share with 2 other families AND have soups for 2 mores days of lunches.  It worked out great.  Oh!  And I had my 14 year old put bread in the bread maker.  My students who were going in and out of the house kept making comments of how good the house smelled with soup and baking bread wafting through the house.
