Christmas Vegetable Soup


We always have a big family brunch on the 25th, with lots of people around and good times. By the end of the day, we have Papa and us, and a big pot of soup for a warming sup after a walk-about to see the christmas lights in the neighbourhood.

This is delicious, and definitely hits the spot after some slightly more naughty indulgences. The spices are simultaneously warming and anti-inflammatory, and the whole thing just tastes great.




ingredients:


2 cups onion, finely diced
4 cups green cabbage, finely chopped
2 cups whole masoor lentils (uncooked)
2 cup frozen green peas

2  cups celery, stalks and leaves, finely diced
2 cups carrots, diced

3 cups sweet potatoes, diced

3 or 4 tsp sea salt -- depends on how salty your salt is ...
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ginger
10 cups water




directions:

1. layer up the crockpot with the ingredients in the order listed -- do not stir
2. cook for 6 hours on high
3. stir
4. add any salt and pepper you need after tasting, and if it's too thick, more water!
