Ingredients: 2 cups lentils; 1 cup water; 4 cups vegetable broth or 4 cups vegetable stock; 1 medium onion, diced; 1 -1 ½ tablespoon granulated onion powder; 2 carrots, chopped chopped or minced; 2 -3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 -1 ½ tablespoon granulated garlic powder; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper; ½ teaspoon oregano; 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes; 12-1 cup sweet potato puree

Servings: persons

2 cups lentils
1 cup water
4 cups vegetable broth or 4 cups vegetable stock
1 medium onion, diced
1 -1 ½ tablespoon granulated onion powder
2 carrots, chopped chopped or minced
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 -1 ½ tablespoon granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
12-1 cup sweet potato puree

1
Clean and presoak the lentils for a few hours, two to three is sufficient, over night works well also.
2
The lentils will easily drink up two cups of water.
3
Strain them, and dump them and all of the other ingredients into a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
4
(A 5 quart might work, but it would be a tight fit.)
5
Cook on low for 10 hours or high for 5 hours.
6
I usually do a combination of the two settings (e.g., 6 hours on low and then 2 hours on high).
7
NOTE: Three medium (baseball sized) sweet potatoes, chopped, can be substituted for the sweet potato puree, but the later seems to sweeten and thicken the overall soup significantly.
8
The same with the carrots, where mincing them does seem to impact the color, flavor, and texture a bit.
9
NOTE: I have yet to try red lentils, so, if some brave individual does, I've appreciate hearing about how it turns out and what adjustments are required.
