Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook

Ingredients

2 tblsp Olive oil

1 Medium yellow onion, finely chopped

2 Ribs celery, chopped

2 1/2 cups Dried red lentils, picked over and rinsed

1 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Turmeric

3/4 tsp Ground coriander

2 tblsp Fresh lemon juice

6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker, along with the lentils, spices and lemon juice. Add the broth and enough water to come about 3 inches above the vegetables. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.

2. Turn the cooker to LOW and cook the soup for 5 to 6 hours. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Add water to thin if the soup is too thick.
