Top left: Cooking, Right: Yummy Results!Have you ever wondered how to get your kids to eat lentils? And have a heart warming soup that is healthy and cheap to make in time and money?
This is it! My 3 year old boy loves it and my 2 year old daughter won't eat anything pureed, and she liked this too! You can eat as shown in either picture, but very yummy!!
It takes about 40 minutes to make, 10 minutes prep time.
Serves about 6 people.
Ingredients:
5 Cups Water
5 teaspoons chicken buillon
2 Teaspoons Whole Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/4 Teaspoon Chile Powder
1 Tablespoon dried Cilantro
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Cup Red Lentils
3 medium Onions
2 large Sweet Potatos
2 1/2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
Steps:
1. Mix the chicken buillion, cumin, turemeric, chile powder, cilantro, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix in with the boiling water (the whole 5 cups)- wait until the water is boiling and stir well
2. Cut the sweet potatos into cubes, keeping the skin on for nutrition, unless you want to not have skin on it (I kept it on)
3. Cut onions into cubes as well
4. Add in the garlic to the boiling mixture
5. Add the onions, sweet potatos, and lentils
6. Boil for 25-30 minutes
7. Serve as is or put into a blender and puree it with a little chunk left in it.
8. Enjoy!!!
So yummy and filling you will go back for seconds!!
