Slow Cooker Red Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry Soup

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric, lentils, sweet potato, tomatoes with their juices, stock and salt in the slow cooker. Stir well so the lentils are not clumped on the bottom.

2. 2

   Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours, until the lentils have collapsed and the sweet potato is very tender when pierced with a knife.

3. 3

   Stir in the coconut milk, cover and cook until heated through, about 15 minutes. For a smoother soup, mash some of the sweet potato against the side of the pot with a spoon.

4. 4

   Stir in the lime juice, taste and adjust the salt. The soup thickens as it sits; thin it with hot water to the consistency you like.
