Crock Pot Lentil Soup

I love lentil soup and I must not be alone in that love because when I used to buy canned soup I loved a particular brand’s lentil soup and it was always missing from the shelf. I cannot believe it took me so long to make this because it was so easy and so delicious. Even The Husband liked it and I never thought I would get him to eat a lentil!

• 2 cups lentils, rinsed
• 16 0unces vegetable or beef broth
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 3 cups water
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 carrots, diced into large pieces (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
• 2 celery stalks, diced into large pieces (approximately 1 cup)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Rinse the lentils thoroughly.
Put all the ingredients into a crock pot, turn on low and cook 5 to 6 hours.
