Ingredients
1 cup dried green or brown lentils, rinsed and drained

2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 tablespoon curry powder

Preparation
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and sauté until onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add curry powder to the pot and stir to combine.
Add lentils and vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until lentils are tender and the soup is fragrant.
Use an immersion blender or regular blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
NOTES:
You can add more or less curry powder to adjust the level of spice and flavor to your liking.
For added creaminess, you can add a can of coconut milk to the soup after blending.
