The Robber's second Vegetable Tuesday post! He's just taking over this sweet blog. Sweetly. p.s. These are just like heaven-- soooooul satisfying.
Note to self: The Robber is having a hard time remembering exactly. So if you make these next time and they are not quite as good, then figure out what is different, fix it, and then edit this post. But for now, let's trust the Robber.
Ingredients:
2 C. red lentils
4 C. water
4 tsp. chicken bouillon
1/2 onion, diced
1 T. minced garlic
8-10 red creamer potatoes, halved or quartered (not peeled)
1/2 -1 carrot, sliced
1-2 diced Roma tomatoes
Curry powder to taste, minimum 4 tsp.
Note: You can adjust amount of vegetables to taste.
Directions:
1. In large pot, saute lentils in small amount of olive oil with garlic and onion until onions become translucent. Add in water and bouillon cubes and curry powder. Bring to a boil.
2. Add in potatoes and simmer until potatoes are tender. Add in carrots when approximately halfway done and tomatoes towards the end.
3. Taste and add more curry powder, if needed. Serve warm-- I like to eat this by itself, like a pea soup, but the Robber eats it over brown rice.

This is very similar to a recipe a friend shared with me:
1/2 c red lentils,washed
2 small onions, coarsely chopped
4 c stock (chicken or vegetable)
1 bay leaf
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 c thinly sliced carrots
2 T rice
1 can diced tomatos
1 t each thyme, oregano & cumin
simmer the lentils, onions, stock, bay leaf & garlic for ~30 mins
then add carrots, rice, tomatos, spices & simmer for another ~20 mins
season with salt & pepper to taste and add chopped cilantro as garnish if desired
I make this soup every few months. Sometimes I add green lentils during the first simmering stage.
