Savor the Ultimate Hearty Lentil Curry Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 finely diced onion
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• A generous cup of broccoli florets
• 4 stalks of celery, finely chopped
• 1 large baking potato
• 5 cups of flavorful vegetable broth
• 1 ½ cups of perfectly cooked white rice
• 1 ½ cups of raw green lentils
• 2 tsp of aromatic curry powder

Step 1

Begin by heating the oil in a large stockpot set over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion, minced garlic, fresh broccoli florets, and sliced celery, gently cooking and stirring until they reach a tender perfection.

Step 2

While the veggies are sautéing, take a moment to peel a potato and pop it into the microwave for a quick 5 to 10 minutes, or until it's soft to the touch. Once done, combine the cooked potato with the sautéed vegetables in a food processor, pulsing until you achieve a silky smooth texture.

Step 3

Return this creamy blend to the pot and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir in the pre-cooked rice, tender lentils, and a sprinkle of fragrant curry powder. Let the mixture simmer over low heat, covered, allowing the lentils to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully for about 45 minutes.
